Brief Answer:
This type of viral is common nowadays

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

This type of viral is going around. It gets better by its own. You donot need to worry.

Carry on with your normal life activities. You have already taken antibiotics which had no effect, so no other antibiotic would be effective. Antibiotics are anyways ineffective in viral fever.

Drink ORS in cleaner water with lower TDS and it should help you. I would also suggest that you send stool sample for culture and sensitivity. Also get complete blood count and urine analysis done.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your response. I will go for the tests you suggested above may be after one week as currently I am consulting a ayurvedic doctor.

I just wonder what could be the underlying cause of the problem some virus infection? as Antibiotics did not work well?

Brief Answer:
Yes it seems viral

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Yes it does seem viral. Because antibiotics didnt work well, its more likely to be viral than bacterial.
