post-viral syndromes

Post-viral syndromes are conditions where symptoms like fatigue, weakness, brain fog, or muscle pain persist after an initial viral infection has healed. They occur because the body's immune response and inflammation can take time to fully resolve, sometimes causing ongoing health issues. These syndromes are common with various viruses, including influenza and COVID-19. While they can be challenging, they often improve gradually with self-care, rest, and medical support. Understanding is evolving, and ongoing research aims to better manage and prevent these lingering symptoms.
