Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Low body temperature and weakness is common just after recovering from a flu.
2. It may occur due to the continuing effect of medication.
3. This would normally last a few days. Keep yourself warm and well hydrated.
4. Inform your doctor and if this lasts beyond a few days, get examined by your doctor.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
