Hello, Welcome to HCM,
As you had viral infection which has subsided, the post viral symptoms will persists for 10-15 days but the intensity of the symptoms will be less.
The viral infection will reduce the immunity and it requires some time to recover completely from post viral symptoms.
I would suggest you to eat protein rich diet to boost up your immunity to fight against the infections take vitamin A and E. Thank you.
