Nonspecific: Your symptoms are nonspecific at this time. It is not possible to diagnose a viral infection yet without respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms. However you may be having prodromal symptoms and they could localize soon. Take in fluids and Tylenol (acetaminophen) in the meantime and check with your physician if you still have further concerns.
