How long does a viral infection last???


I have a viral infection, they think it mite be hepatitis A (food poisoning). Ive been sick since the 10th of dec. Ive been to the Dr. a few times, all they can do is treat the symptoms, headaches, nausea, etc. How long should this last? I can barely take it anymore, it sucks!

Yeah, yick.... generally 2-4 wks! If you're having that strong of symptoms revisit your doctor or visit another doctor!
