Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for sending in question.

It sounds like you're dealing with most likely a viral syndrome. Commonly symptoms will get better and then sometimes a little bit worse before eventually a transient in the direction of feeling gradually better and better prevails.

If your symptoms seem to be getting progressively worse however, I would recommend that you visit with your primary care doctor for a good physical examination and also to consider if any laboratory evaluation is necessary. There are some other more rare causes of this type of collection of symptoms.

Again the most likely cause of this is some type of viral syndrome. Please see her doctor however if you're not feeling better.

In the meantime try to focus on good daily nutrition as well as excellent hydration as this will help your immune system deal with this particular issue.

Thanks again for sending your question.
