Hi
Post covid symptoms vary from person to person some get well in days some in wks and some take months ...Those who take months are known to suffer frm long covid syndrome and there is no treatment as such you will get well by 4 to 12 wks ...keep your self well hydrated and don't over exert yourself ..Take symptomatic relief medications
Thankyou

Hello,
Post covid fatigue and weakness can last up to a few weeks to a month.
Keep taking multivitamins, vit C and vit D for a month at the minimum.
Next Steps
Eating well balanced meals, with as much fruits as possible is important.
Diet plays a key role in building up your immunity and stamina slowly.
