Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Black lines on nail, scalloped tongue, weakness are seen with anemia or vitamin B12 deficiency. So get done CBC (complete blood count) and vitamin B12 level. You are may need iron tablets or vitamin B12 supplements if Deficiency of any of these is seen. Usual time for recovery is 3-4 months. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
