A member asked:
Which type of doctor would be helpful for someone who has a viral infection that wont go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infectious Diseases: I would start with your own doctor . Perhaps your viral infection has evolved to a superimposed bacterial infection. Your doctor can help to sort things out. If not, he or she may refer you to an infectious specialist.
