Can Sweating, Body Pain And Sick Feeling Be Virus Infection?

Hi think I got a virus that was going around office 3 weeks ago but am unable to shake it. I have moments of pain any where, bottom of my foot, in my eye brow, back of leg, in my ribs. Feel better when I rest apart from feeling occasionally sick. But as soon as I exert myself I feel really hot, start to sweat lots and feel really drained and ill. Is this still a virus?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms suggest me that you may be having some flu like symptoms of viral origin. As your colleagues are running with the viral infection it can spread to you also.

Most of the viral infection will subside by itself without any treatment as most of the viral infections are self limiting and most of the viral infections are highly communicable through droplet infection and droplet nuclei.

For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Take adequate rest.
2.Drink plenty of water.
3.Tab Paracetamol, will help to control the fever and the the generalized myalgia.
4.Multivitamin Capsules will help to boost up your immunity.
Thank you.
