Had the cold/flu for 4 days now and today i just feel weird like i should be sleeping. just drained? or something else. kinda in a fog and depressed

Viral infections: Release inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor Alpha and several interleukins that can cross the blood brain barrier and cause marked sedation and depression. These will usually pass within a week, except in the case of the mono virus which can cause a more long-lasting response. I hope you feel well soon. Best wishes.
