Yes, approximately 20 days ago I had body aches for 4 days then a sore throat. sore throat went away then fatigue set in about 12 days ago. Sore throat came back 9 days ago and stayed a four days then went away again. Sore throat yesterday but not today. Leg weakness has been with me for about 10 days and some weakness throughout body but most my lower legs. Went to doctor and was tested for strep, mono, lyme and had full panel bloodwork done. All negative. Doctor said virus. How long should I wait out these symptoms before being seen again? No fever.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern about viral illness not recovering for more than 20 days. Viral infections are self limiting and should reduce without any therapy within 15 days. But in viral infections you are prone for super added viral and bacterial infections due to the fall in immunity. I am suspecting the same in your case. I suggest you take bed rest. Take a healthy diet to replenish your immune system. You can take multivitamin supplements to boost your immunity. I assure you will feel better within 10 days. Thanks.
