Thanks for emailing me about the edits you made.

Symmetrel (amantadine) treats influenza type A. Although type A is the most common, maybe yours is a type B or C. Still, the virus is self-limited and will resolve in time....if this is flu.

But if it's not the flu, what else could it be.? Keeping in mind the symptoms you've listed, sinusitis and allergy-related sinusitis come to mind. Drainage from sinuses irritates the throat, post-nasal drip from allergies also irritates the throat. Sinusitis can cause nasal congestion and eye pain. Sinusitis is either bacterial or viral. Antivirals like Symmetrel won't treat a bacterial infection. Ask for a referral to an ENT to rule out undiagnosed sinusitis.Health Question & Answer
