Hello,
Thanks for asking a question at Healthcare magic
It is common to feel weak during and after a Flu
I suggest you to take sufficient rest
Take more fluids/fruit juices
You take a multivitamin tablet for a month
Add probiotics for 2 weeks that can help replenish the good bacteria in your gut.
You will definitely feel better and get back to normal in a week or 10 days
The course of viral infection differs in each patient.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
