Hello there,
I am dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question.
See you have infection so you are feeling weak, it takes usually 3-7 days to fully recover from the infection weakness.
I think you have a lump and ulcer in your mouth so you haven't taken necessary diet. And during illness our metabolic rate is also increased so we need to increase our energy level that is deprived because of your mouth condition.
Now i suggest you to take some high fiber, green leafy veg and high protein content diet. And visit your physician once to ask for any extra tablet form supplemental vitamins & minerals are needed or not.
Hope i have given appropriate guidance to you.
if you have any query you can consult me anytime.
Give me star rating and helpful vote & thank you according to your satisfaction level.
Thanking you.
