Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What medications have been prescribed would help you to recover from infection. Infection itself would confer natural immunity.
However, to recover from the illness and to gain good immunity, you need to take protein rich diet.
Kindly take protein supplement powder like Proteinex twice daily with milk. Include in your diet pulses and legumes. Eating groundnuts, almonds and other dry fruits will provide good amount of proteins.
Also, eating fruits like apple, banana and guava would help you to provide essential vitamins and minerals.
With intake of these foods, you can gain good immunity.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
