Ans: While it takes a few weeks to fight the disease, it takes longer to recover from the medicine’s side-effects and the weakness.
It is very important to let your body recover completely and a complete detox is required to get rid of the accumulated toxins.
The best way is to sweat it out. Initiate an exercise plan according to your capacity -- start with walks and basic stretches and gradually initiate exercises like Surya Namaskar.
For an internal detox, take a few drops of lime with honey in lukewarm water in the morning.
A healthy balanced diet is very important.
If you are non-vegetarian, avoid it for some time as your digestive system might not be able to handle it.
Simple home-made food like dal chawal, sabzi and roti with salad and curd is advisable at least for a few months.
Have soups and salads in the evening and avoid eating post sunset.
If you don’t see any improvement in a month, go in for a detailed consultation with a nutritionist/wellness expert.
