I was at the docs last Tuesday and was told I had a viral infection that would clear up in a day or two. But Im still feeling unwell with a constant pounding headache and occasionally having hot flushes & cold sweats, bright lights are hurting my eyes and I have occasional stiffness in my neck/back
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI had gone through your query. Viral infection usually takes 1 week to 10 days for complete cure. This is the time required by the body to develop immunity against infected virus. So no need to worry. The symptoms you are having are suggesting that you have still ongoing viral infection in your body. So, continue the medications that your doctor has prescribed. Along with this, take adequate rest. Have plenty of fluids. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
