HI
Well come to HCM
If this is viral infection indeed then you need to be patience for at least one week, if symptoms persist even after a week, then this need to be investigated and the option would be complete blood count, but this is nothing to worry, every thing would be fine soon, take care, ( Comment:- Even after finishing the course of viral fever symptoms may persist few more days, this could be sequelea )

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Viral infections can take 1 to 2 weeks to resolve, in some cases it may take longer, it would depend on the virus involved.
IN addition to eating well and drinking fluids, it is also important to make sure that you have enough rest to allow your body to heal.
You may have to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment since it is not clear from the symptoms mentioned, which type of infection you may have.
I hope this helps
