HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The cough can persist for up to 6 weeks after an acute illness and it can take a few weeks for energy levels and appetite to return to normal particularly since your illness was severe.

Using a lot of fluids, fruits , vegetables would help. Rest is also important.

A multivitamin may also help to boost your immune system.

I hope this helps
