Fatigue may occur for some patients with the Zika virus, and it normally lasts between two to seven days. In many cases, the fatigue associated with the virus is mild. While there is no treatment for fatigue itself, patients often find getting extra sleep is beneficial, and drinking plenty of fluids might also be comforting. If a patient is severely fatigued and cannot get out of bed at all, urgent medical attention should be obtained. Individuals who have been to an area with a Zika virus outbreak should monitor themselves for fatigue after their trip, and they should note any other symptoms they are experiencing, as this information can be helpful to medical staff in diagnosing Zika.
