Is it normal to have fever for 5 days?
Been dealing with this fever for five days now, with a cough and cold. The doctor gave me some antibiotics, but it's still persisting. Is it normal for a fever to last for 5 days? Feeling quite weak.

A fever lasting five days is not something to ignore, as it exceeds the typical duration of a simple cold. It could indicate a bacterial infection or a specific viral strain. Consulting a doctor for a blood test is highly recommended.
