Ive been battling a recurrent viral infection over the last month and seem to be over it but still have no appetite (which started during the infection), is that normal?

Prolonger viral infe: You have been having this infection for a long time. Loss of appetite is normal in chronic infections which is what you have. You may not be able to eat a good large meal but you should be able to eat nutritious small meals during the day. In this situation I would take supplements as well.
