Listen to your body: If you're still not well after a viral illness, it would be a good idea to get checked out. Maybe something 'additional' will be found by having a proper evaluation - such as your blood levels (anemia?), nutritional status (albumin) or even immune function (testing for immunodeficiencies, liver problems etc). After all, that's what doctors do. Infectious disease docs are well suited to address Qs.
