Have had bad flu last week, still have terrible cough but generally well. still no appetite though. is this normal?

Yes.: It can take sometime to bounce back. Cough can linger a couple weeks beyond the acute phase of the illness. Take your time, take care of yourself. Your appetite will come back. Keep drinking fluids.
