Osteopenia ?
I have been diagnosed with symptoms of reduced bone density with a T score of -2.3.
I used to have very high bone density when it was measured few years ago and never felt any pain in the bones, before a viral fever 2 months ago.
what can I do to fix this? and how long will it take?
I've been consuming calcium supplements on doctor's advice for 2 weeks.

Do not worry.
At 24, osteopenia is just of statistical significance, unless you have a pathology .
BMD or ultrasound based BMD machines tends to overdiagnose conditions.
Next Steps
perform regular exercises .
