Why Do You Still Feel Tired After a Cold? Understanding Post-Viral Fatigue During Typhoon

During the period when Typhoon Kajiki passes through Thailand, many areas experience heavy rainfall, strong winds, and high humidity, which increases the risk of illness for both mothers and young children. Some people may have experienced recovering from a cold but still feel tired and lack the energy to work or care for their child as usual. These symptoms are not unusual and are medically known as post-viral fatigue.

This condition occurs after an illness. Even after recovering from a cold or viral infection, the body still needs time to restore balance and repair itself, which can leave many people feeling exhausted, weak, or experiencing other related symptoms.

 

🧒 Common symptoms

  • Easily fatigued, even after sufficient sleep
  • Reduced concentration or irritability
  • Headaches or muscle aches
  • Sore throat or nasal congestion
  • Swollen lymph nodes

If symptoms persist for more than 2–3 weeks, it is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and care.

 

🌧️ How to relieve tired during a storm:

  • Get enough rest: 7–9 hours per day
  • Eat nutritious foods: Focus on vegetables, fruits, protein, and drink enough water
  • Avoid unnecessary rain exposure: Wear warm clothing and avoid staying in damp areas
  • Take care of mental health: Engage in relaxing activities, such as reading books or listening to music
  • Monitor the typhoon situation: Stay prepared and follow announcements from the Meteorological Department

The key is to allow the body time to recover. Paying attention to mental health and staying updated on weather conditions will help both mother and child stay safe and recover more quickly.
