I've just recovered from Typhoid a few days ago, but now I'm feeling really dizzy, faint, and weak. Eating has become hard because nothing tastes right to me. I'm wondering what kind of food I should be eating to help with this, and if there's anything else I can do to feel better?

How many cod liver oil capsules should I take daily in mg? Is there any risk of overdosing on them? Each capsule I have is 300mg, and I'm 19 years old. How many should I be taking every day?

take only 1 capsule per day never more than 2, high doses can sometimes lead to an increased risk of bleeding, especially if you are taking blood-thinning medications.
