Hello dear user!
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I have read carefully your query and understand your concerns.
Yes, in most of the cases these symptoms are due to viral infections.
They usually are self-healed in 3-5 days and no specific medication is needed, just supplements of minerals and vitamins. Meanwhile try to keep a light diet and consume a lot of liquids.
Try to control the temperature if you have, because it can worsen the medical issues you have in your history.
If this condition is not healed within 5 days, please consult your primary doctor, because you may need to go through some simple analysis to gather more details and understand what is the cause of your tiredness.
Please feel free to ask us again. I would be happy to answer again.
If you are satisfied please kindly rate this answer as helpful.
Wishing all the best,
DR ERIOL.
