With speculations about Shubman Gill take break from Asia Cup 2025, due to viral illness, let's take a look at what actually happened to the batter and how long does it actually take for anyone to recover from the extreme exhaustion that the condition can cause.
Speaking to TheHealthSite.com, Dr Nalini Mishra, Apollo Hospitals, said that the recovery time from a viral illness completely depends on the type of infection that has triggered the viral illness.
"The severity of the infection decides the severity of the condition. In most cases of mild viral fever, seasonal flu, or common cold, people begin to feel better within 3 to 7 days, though tiredness and weakness may last for 2-3 weeks after fever is gone. Apart from extreme body ache and rising body temperature, viral illness may also trigger gastrointestinal viral infections such as stomach flu usually clear up in 2 to 5 days, while respiratory infections can take 1 to 2 weeks, with cough lingering for longer."
