I have been sick for the last week..started with a fever, achy, chest congestion and overall feeling bad.  It hasnt improved..still spiking a fever every day, generally feeling bad and constantly nauseous.  Doctor said a virus that has to run its course..any other advice.  I cant function.
Hi I can understand your concern... In viral infection fever, body ache, uneasiness common... Here you might have viral flu... It might be rhinitis, sinusitis, sore throat or bronchitis like condition. It might be allergic cause also.... Get your CBC done... If lymphocytes then viral and if eosinophilic then allergic cause suspected. Take antihistamine for relief from inflammation... Oxymetazoline like decongestant useful... Lots of fluid taken.... If sore throat troublesome gargle by antiseptic solution like diluted iodine can be done....... Steam inhalation needed if sinusitis like condition there... If still no improvement I would suggest you for chest x-ray.... Take care... Happy to help you further... Chat Doctor.
