Brief Answer:
no reports, plz get some more work up
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The symptoms you are having are suggesting some underlying inflammatory condition.
It is very unlikely for the flu symptoms to last that long.
You should get examined by a local internal medicine practitioner with reports of Complete blood counts, liver function test, urine routine and culture, blood cultures and chest Xray, it is also highly advisable that you get an ultrasound of whole abdomen to see if there is any focus.
You should review proactive way because delaying may increase problems.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.

Hi Doc,
I have done CT scan for chest, I got my ultrasound for abdomen, I got all complete blood test. All reports are normal. Chills are mild not very aggressive. I have to do urine culture, blood culture and Liver functional test and my ESR also came back normal. One of the doc suggested me that i might have stress? I dont have fever at all.
Thanks,
XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
aerobics and a short course treatment
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back.
Since you have been examined by local clinicians without much findings. Investigations also came normal.
But your suffering is apparent. One possibility is stress and the other is intercurrent mild viral infection.
Do light aerobics exercises which is a good stress beater. Ensure you have time to relax towards evenings everyday.
You should keep yourself well hydrated with salted juices and soups.
Decongestants and multivitamin and antioxidants supplement for about a week may help you a lot.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
