If your son took your own mother's milk during early infancy then you need not worry...just take him to play in the park with as many same-age friends as he can. However, if he did not have your milk then his immune system might need be powered up by medicines prescribed by a doctor.
Post viral weakness is very common, sometime for couple of weeks after illness; give him light and regular diet.soups, juices etc.is better. Skin dryness could be due to cold weather, apply any good moisturiser and will be fine.
