Post-viral fatigue, low appetite, and mild body ache lasting 2-3 weeks after flu is very common and is your body's way of recovering and rebuilding. Pushing yourself back into intense workouts too soon can actually delay recovery, so it is wise that you are holding back for now. Focus on light nutrition â easily digestible, smaller frequent meals â and gradually reintroduce activity as your energy returns. Most people feel back to normal within 3-4 weeks of a flu episode.
Next Steps
Continue light activity and eat small nourishing meals. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation if fatigue persists beyond 4 weeks.
