Hi,
Your husband probably has a viral infection. Your doctor seems to have given the right treatment by advising only supportive treatment for the symptoms. Usually viral infection takes seven to ten days to subside. Sometimes it is accompanied by generalised body weakness. This should also subside along with the viral infection.
