It is usually normal to feel weak all over after influenza B, as viral infections can deplete energy and affect the immune system. It is recommended to get plenty of rest, avoid overexertion, and supplement nutrition appropriately, especially vitamins and protein, to aid recovery. Meanwhile, maintain good indoor ventilation to prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly and follow medical advice for treatment to speed up recovery.
