Question : Worried about why I’m feeling chills on my body? I started out on Oct 31, 2020 with bad chills, body aches, sweats at night. I still have some chills. They gave me azithromycin and didn’t seem to help. I still have some chills. I did a CBC with diff two days ago and it was all normal. Flu test negative too. Could viruses etc last this long. Didn’t know if I needed to worry about something really bad

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
This is Dr.Barani.
Viral infections usually last for less than a week.
But few infections may last longer.
No need to worry.
You can take Tylenol for symptom relief.
And drink enough fluids to remain well hydrated.
Regards,
Dr.Barani
