What Causes Low Appetite Post A Stomach Infection Recovery?

I contracted a stomach virus from one of my students about a week ago. I dint have much of an appetite days following and I still don t have much of one. I ve been experiencing fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and nervousness. I m normally very active and work out 5-6 days a week. I also normally eat 5-6 small meals per day. However, after the virus, I m not as active nor am I eating as much. Should I be very concerned?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern about your loss of appetite. Firstly I would like to assure you that it's completely normal in recovery period to have loss of appetite and feeling of weakness. You can regain your vigour and vitality by:

1) Drinking plenty of water about 3 to 4 litres in a day.

2) Fruit juices and milk have to be added to your diet.

3) Avoid alcohol and smoking at least during this period.

4) Drink warm water as soon as you wake up. A glass or two will do.

5) Mild exercises are recommended. Kindly do not strain. Believe me you shall feel rejuvenated and electrified in your daily chores.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
