Hi,
As the casual flu lasts around a week or so, the persistent of symptoms with lack of appetite and weight loss are indicative of underlying super imposed bacterial infection after the flu attack. Kindly get a basic chest x-ray with complete blood counts done with your doc for best evaluation and guidelines in this regard.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
