Hi,
1) Dryness of the throat could be due to the medication that you have been prescribed. As you are currently suffering with pneumonia and have just recovered from malaria and typhoid, you must have been prescribed powerful antibiotics. Dry throat is a common side effect of antibiotics.
2) You can eat well balanced meals. This includes:
a) Your plate should include 1/3 of carbohydrates like rice, rotis, bread, chapatis, pasta etc.
b) The other 1/3 portion should be of fruits and vegetables.
c) Of the remaining 1/3 , 40 percent should be of proteins like dals (pulses), eggs, meat and 40 percent should be of milk and dairy products. The remaining 20 percent should be of fats and oils.
You can also use multivitamin tablets and energy enhancing drugs which you can buy from any pharmacy.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you
