How long will it take to fully recover from persistent right shoulder pain after having dengue and a bacterial brain infection (meningitis) treated with IV therapy and supplements like Autrin and Zevit, and how should I manage my current cold symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, and a sore throat?
Recovering from dengue and meningitis is a major journey for your body. Your persistent shoulder pain, often a post-viral effect, can take several weeks to a few months to fully resolve as your nerves and joints heal. Continuing Autrin and Zevit will help rebuild your strength. For your current cold symptoms, rest, staying hydrated, and warm saline gargles will provide relief. You may use a simple saline nasal spray for your runny nose. Your immune system is still recovering, so please be patient with yourself. If the shoulder pain worsens or cold symptoms persist beyond a week, please consult your doctor for a hands-on evaluation.
