Fever and tiredness
Hello Doctor. I had sneezing and runny nose on 24 June. I took cetirizine for 2 days. On 28 June, I had cough and fever ( temperature went Upto 100.3F). So, I went to ENT. He checked my throat and told viral infection and prescribed me allergic medicine and antibiotics for 5 days. I took dolo 650 for one day only as my fever stopped within 24 hrs. Today mng my antibiotics got over. But I still have head heaviness and body tiredness and my temp is 99F whereas past 3 days, my temp was 98.5F. Today is day 5 after I got my fever. Now I have temp 98.8F to 99F, head heaviness, occasional cough and body tiredness.
Please advise me how long it will take to recover?
Should I go to doctor again?

Such viral infections do last for 5-7 days.Tiredness may last even longer.You should visit your doctor if the fever is not relieved or you have severe fatigue

Heaviness and bodyache will stay for some time. But if you have a high fever then you should consult a General Physician or an ENT Specialist.
