A member asked:

Felt flu-ish with body aches for 5 days now. is that normal time frame for virus or flu bug to work its way out? (going to doc as i still feel awful)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Most viral infections peak at day 3 and begin to improve by day 5. Anything that gets close to being there for a week without improvement should be checked out. Drink plenty of fluid - eat some light high protein foods and keep your appointment. Good luck!
