Viral infections are caused by tiny germs that may find their way into your body and cause sickness. Such viruses can be transmitted easily in the air, through touch or close contact with an already infected person. Examples of common viral infections are flu, cold, dengue, viral fever, COVID-19 and stomach infections. Although the majority of infectious diseases are mild and disappear on their own, detecting the early symptoms helps in treating and preventing the disease.
A change in body temperature is the most important symptom of a viral infection. It is the body's mechanism for fighting the virus.
Feeling weak or a lack of energy despite rest is also a sign of a viral infection.
Severe cold and cough is an early sign of a viral infection. The swallowing of food can be painful or scratchy.
Mild to moderate headache, muscle soreness, or even pain in the joints are likely to occur.
When you observe nasal stuffiness, sneezing and a runny nose, this may be a result of a viral infection in the respiratory tract.
Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of the above symptoms for a longer duration.
