You may have mild to moderate
fatigue before or after other symptoms of another
illness develop. A cold, the flu, or a fever usually causes some fatigue during
the time you have the illness.
Fatigue caused by a
viral or
bacterial infection usually gets better as the illness
improves. Occasionally, mild fatigue may linger after other symptoms of the
illness have cleared up. It may take up to 4 weeks for the fatigue to clear up
completely. Home treatment can help you relieve your fatigue during and after
an illness caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
