I am suffering from fever(99.5 F) for four days with sore throat,cough, sneezes followed by cold. Today there were loose motions. The doctor says it might be viral and has not prescribed anti-biotics on purpose. Should I go to work tomorrow? What should I eat? Thanks

Hi.The best policy to get an early recovery in any viral problem is ''bed-rest''. This is the most important thing.
You have to take a symptomatic treatment, plenty of oral fluids, and bed rest.
You may take soft bland diet, only home-made food.
