[|Human|] ok about 3 weeks ago I started running fever wa having trouble walking. I could not get around unless I was taking advil or tylenole. finally went to the dr. he said it was a viral infection it would have to run its course, but if I wasn t better in a week to call and he would call in an antibiotic,so I called and he gave me an antibiotic. my legs would move but it was very painful when I first stood up when I was lying down my thighs would ache. what could this have been? I am much better now but this went on for about a month.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor. Firstly from your symptoms it seems you had viral fever. It can be caused due to broad spectrum of viruses. Viral fever takes its own course (usually a week or two). No medications like antibiotics are required (As they work against bacteria).  Antibiotics are given only if symptoms don't improve in a week to prevent any secondary bacterial infections. You don't need to worry as viral fevers cause severe body ache, continuous fever. But once it is over you don't need to worry. Thank you. Chat Doctor.
