What Should Be Done For The Tiredness While Recovering From H1N1 Flu?

I am recovering from the H1N1 flu and am having a hard time "bouncing" back. I am extremely tired, I just returned back to work after being out for a week and by the end of the day I feel like a dump truck ran over me, backed up and ran over me again. Any suggestions?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Similar to any viral infection, H1N1 (Swine Flu) is also self limiting disease. The drugs like oseltamavir (Tamiflu) will helps to reduce the severity of the disease but it will not cure the disease.
As it is a viral infection it will subside by itself in due course of time, as this leads to flu like symptoms it will take some time for recovery.
I would suggest you
1.Take good nutritious diet
2.Adequate rest
3.Follow personal protection measures.
4.Multivitamins to boost up the immunity.
These measures will help you to restore your health to normal.
Thank you.
