Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter has been sick for 2 months (beginning just as she was getting over a cold), 1 month ago she was diagnosed with Post Viral Syndrome, after having many tests done that all came back fine. At first she had diarrhea, but that improved after about 1 month - she is taking probiotics most days now. She is still very tired, with extremely low energy, and often has a headache, and occasionally lightheadedness. Her appetite isn t that good and she often finds it hard to eat very much. She says she is hungry, but then nothing much sounds very good - her stomach also hurts at times. She has been to our family doctor, and to the Gastroenterologist (he did a endoscopy & colonoscopy, which were fine) - they agree with the diagnosis, but don t have any suggestions on things to help her feel better or get over this any faster. Do you have any thoughts or ideas on this.

Suggest Medication For Post Viral Syndrome
Hi there. Thanks for writing in. Could you please mention how old your daughter is. Post viral fatigue is a possibility , especially if all other investigations have come back as normal. Depression is yet another possibility. Cognitive behaviour therapy , gentle exercise might help. Yoga will be very beneficial for her. Sign her up for yoga classes if you have any good yoga instructors in your area. Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery. Regards, Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
