HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The cough can persist for up to 6 weeks after an acute illness and it can take a few weeks for energy levels and appetite to return to normal particularly since your illness was severe.
Using a lot of fluids, fruits , vegetables would help. Rest is also important.
A multivitamin may also help to boost your immune system.
I hope this helps
