cure for viral fever - #19202
I am just really confused and worried here. A few days ago, I got hit with what I think is a viral fever. It started with chills and fever that just wouldn't go away, and now I feel like I've been hit by a truck. My head is pounding and I have this annoying cough that keeps me up at night. I went to the doctor and they said it’s probably a viral fever and just to rest and hydrate. But like, why is it taking so long to feel better? I mean, I heard some folks talkin' about a cure for viral fever, but is that even a thing? Also, I’m wondering if there are any home remedies that really work or should I just keep waiting for this viral fever to pass? I’ve tried hot water and lemon, but I don't know if it helps or just makes me feel good temporarily. Can you guys share what’s worked for you when you had a bad viral fever? Is there a quicker cure for viral fever? I can't really afford to be sick right now with work piling up. Ugh, feeling so stuck! It's bizarre seeing people go on about their day while I'm here wrapped in blankets! Any advice?
