Hi, doc! Last night I had the fever 99.9F, during the night I decided to take Ibuprofen and felt on the kitchen floor unconscious for 5 min. , then puked up for 15 min. This morning I still feel very week... Is this the food poisoning symptoms or some kind of nasty virus? Thanks.

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
I suppose you are suffering from Viral fever, Viral Fever is usually a self limiting condition, which usually takes 5 days for recovery.
We can catch a virus from other person who is suffering from Viral fever through coughing, Sneezing.
There is no indication for antibiotic therapy in Viral Infection, but our body's immunity gets lower during a viral infection and we can catch secondary bacterial infection, so if a doctor finds any signs or symptoms of secondary bacterial infection he/she adds antibiotics.
Thank you.
