How To Regain Energy After Bouts Of Influenza?

My son is 19. He has been sick for about a month. Sore throat which has come and gone about three or four different times. Extremely tired all of the time. I did have a mono test, strep test done at the onset and both were negative. He did come down with influenze but that subsided about two weeks ago and his energy level has not gotten any better. The minute he feels like he has energy to go do something, he does it but then is set back again. Any advice? Thank you.

Weakness after an infection is quite understandable and expected. So there is no need to worry and very soon, with few essential measures, he'll be back to fitness. Diet forms the most important factor to regain fitness, he should have a balanced diet comprising of nutritious food and avoid junk food. To supplement, multi vitamin tablets may be prescribed. Also, proper exercises and yoga go a long way In helping him back to fitness.
