If it’s a viral illness, typically symptoms are shorter lasting and classically the symptoms include fever, chills, sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, and a lot of times you can have some body aches. A lot of times the symptoms last for maybe three days to a week and then slowly get better over time. Sometimes the cough can be persistent up to a month. Other symptoms can include headache.

This process can disrupt the normal function of your cells and trigger symptoms of illness.
If you have a strong immune system, your body can usually fight off a viral infection.
However, some viruses remain in your body long-term, causing periodic flare-ups of symptoms over time.
Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses.
While antiviral medications may help control some viral infections, they don’t cure them outright but instead reduce symptom severity or slow the virus’s activity.

Viruses and bacteria can cause similar symptoms, like fever, cough and rashes. Respiratory infections affect your nose, throat, airways and lungs. Many respiratory viruses can cause bronchitis, sinusitis, ear infections or pneumonia. Viral infections in your digestive system can affect your stomach and intestines or your liver. Hemorrhagic fevers affect how your blood clots and can weaken your blood vessels, causing potentially life-threatening bleeding. Exanthematous viral infections cause rashes that can appear as bumps or blisters on your skin or spots of blood under your skin. Neurological infections can cause paralysis, swelling of your brain or its covering and other life-threatening conditions.
