how many days viral fever take to recover - #15616
I am kinda freaking out here because I've been dealing with this viral fever for what feels like forever! It started about 5 days ago, just a slight headache and some chills, but then BAM, I was hit with high fever and fatigue. I just lie there all day, and the worst part is the whole body aches. I’m drinking fluids, restin like all the docs say, but I can't help but wonder how many days viral fever take to recover? My mom keeps sayin it should be 3 to 7 days or something, but can it last longer? I've heard mixed stuff from friends, like some say a week, others say even more... I just feel completely drained and it's making work a nightmare because I keep missing calls and my boss is starting to get annoyed. Do all viral fevers take the same time to clear up or are there those that linger longer? I mean, should I be concerned if I don't start feeling better soon? How many days viral fever take to recover in general, and are there signs I should look out for to know if complicashuns are happenin? I can't believe I’m laying here tryin to figure this out instead of being up and about like usual! Any thoughts on it? Thanks!
