Coping With Viral Infections

I came down with your average cold, stuffy/runny nose, congestion and fatigue and after about a week and a half it cleared up entirely and I was feeling a 100%. 2 days later, I began to feel a tightness in my chest which evolved into almost sever pain in my chest and back muscles. It hurt to move and I didn’t get much sleep as I would wake up because it hurt when I’d move while sleeping. I didn’t go to the doctors until on the 4th day after the pain started I woke up to find a pimply rash all over my torso, scalp and spots on my face, legs, arms. I finally went to the doctors only to find out it was viral. Whereas I had thought, I had kicked my cold..my body didn’t seem to think so! I am a 26 year old female, who rarely gets sick and the last thing I was expecting was a rash to appear and still not get any anwers other than “it’s viral”. However, after a couple days I felt completely healthy, aside from visibly looking sick. Just had to wait for the rash to go and I was finally in the clear and it only took 3 weeks in total.
