The Exhaustion of Fever

Don’t let my title deceive you, I am not referring to the physical tiredness one feels during a fever but the overall exhaustion on the body after the fever persists on for days. Most fevers including viral fevers lasts up to 3 days. We control our diet and take adequate rest for these 3 days and slowly return to our hustle and bustle. The 3 days that I mentioned above is fine, any more and you feel a lagging sensation. A very irritating thing about the viral fever is the temperature spikes, sometimes it stays normal but then suddenly it spikes up. In my personal case, I feel relatively normal in the mornings and because it’s better to stay indoors and having relatively less things to do, I spend most of that time sleeping around, at night however the fever decides to rise up again and because I spend my mornings asleep I can’t sleep at night and am continuously haunted by the dreams of food that I could have otherwise consumed if I weren’t sick and the cycle repeats.

If you are one of the active lot, after the 5th day you would be wishing to just go out again, everything slow and drag starts getting on your nerves, because us humans are not meant to be caged we should be jumping about and getting things done but even after preaching all this, my advice to all of you as an aspiring medical professional would be to always take rest and control your food habit.
