Suggest Treatment For Viral Flu Causing Nausea,tiredness And Excessive Sweating

my son went to the ER with symptoms of nausea sweats faint weak. They ran all test blood sugar to Cat Scan. Said it was a viral flu. Flu test came back normal. He has been tired for over a week. The doctor said this type of flu could last up to 2 months. Sounds strange to me.
