You may be dehydrated. Drink enough water, fruit juice, or electrolyte drink so that your urine is mostly colorless. If that does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor.

It is not unusual to have persistent symptoms for several days after a viral infection. It can take a while to recover. Adequate hydration is critical. You should drink enough that your urine comes out very clear in color. See your doctor if your symptoms persist. Good luck.
