Hello,

Patients experiencing symptoms like this in the convalesce phase(Recovery phase) is normal.

There are chances that you may be suffering from gastritis(Infection or Drug induced).

1. Take small meal frequently which can be easily digested.
2. Proton pump inhibitors.

If the symptoms does not improve consult your doctor.

Hi
It would have been better if you could have shared the information on what antibiotics and steroids you are taking or have taken for what duration.
Based on the information shared by you it seems you are having post infection asthenia.
If your symptoms are aggravating then you should visit your hospital at the earliest on the contrary if they are subsiding then there is no cause for concern.
Wishing you a faster recovery
Take care :)
