Why I Didn't Take Medication When I Got Viral Infection?

Normal fever vs Viral Infection


Initially I thought I was having normal fever, and it did goes off after 1 day, however, the fever keeps on coming back. As you may know, fever is a body reaction where our body secretes a hormone to temporary increase body temperate so that our immune cells able to fight those bacteria and virus more effectively. As most bacteria and virus activities are low at higher temperature, thus a fever is a sign that your immune system is at work, fighting the intruders inside your body. A viral infection is a disease that can be caused by different kinds of viruses, of which the influenza-virus is best known. A viral infection can be in different places in the body, some viruses are mainly in the intestine, while others prefer the lungs and airways. With a viral infection you usually have a fever, but other complaints can range from abdominal pain and diarrhea to coughing and shortness of breath. The symptoms that I encountered was come-and-go fever and coughing, and shortness of breath. (more info read here: Viral Infection)

Above were the 3 medication prescribed by doctor, I had summarised in the table below:

It is very clear that those medication prescribed by doctor has their side effects, and each of them may have more than one side effects. Imagine what will happen to my body if I taking these medications without second thought. Please read carefully the "Uses" column, each medication has their own purpose. However, there is one common thing that these medication shares, which is treat symptoms! Yes, all these medication can relieve my symptoms of coughing, fever, and stuffy nose, but there is one thing you must remember, the reason why you coughing is your lungs are trying to remove bacteria/viruses from respiratory system! The reason why you have stuffy nose is because the nasal mucus are actually trying to stop bacteria/viruses from entering your inner respiratory system. 

Your body behave such because of its natural protecting feature, which protecting you from getting sick. And medication are actually trying to stop your body to do its jobs! Furthermore, taking medication will increase the burden of our liver and kidney as these two organs main features are detoxification. This is why I didn't take medication when I got viral infection.
