Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, you have been quite a lot in the last few weeks so it's expected that for few months generalized weakness, pain etc can persist.

It's good that access was drained but pain and inflammation may persist for a few weeks to months.

In order to relieve orotal vein thrombosis, blood thinners may be used up to 3-6 months so after that recovery in that regard is expected. Post sepsis myalgias or body aches may persist.

You can use vitamin B complexes too if they are affected due to antibiotics intake for this long.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
