I have been experiencing a complete loss of appetite, mild diarrhoea, and physical weakness for the past week after recovering from a slight fever and wet cough. What medicines or supplements should I take to treat the diarrhoea, improve my appetite, and regain my strength?
To recover from post-illness weakness and mild diarrhoea, focus on rehydration and gut recovery: For Diarrhoea: Drink Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) to replenish lost electrolytes, and take a daily probiotic to restore healthy gut bacteria. For Appetite & Strength: Take a Multivitamin containing B-complex and Zinc. Zinc aids gut healing and appetite recovery, while B vitamins help restore energy levels. Diet: Eat small, frequent, bland meals (such as rice, bananas, toast, and clear broths). Avoid dairy, caffeine, and fatty foods. If diarrhoea persists for more than 3 days, or if you develop a fever or blood in your stool, please consult a doctor.
