A letter to mother telling her about your health

Question

Thanks for responding to my post.Please read through the letter and make corrections where you find mistakes. Please correct the punctuation mistakes as well. Thanks____I found your kind letter yesterday; I'm glade that you are fine. I was running a temperature  because of bad throat and remained I'll for two days . But it was a temporary ailment. The medicines prescribed by the hostel physician made me feel better soon and I'm feeling fresh and hale. It's just the weakness followed by the illness.____Moreover, I'm taking good care of my sleep, diet, and exercise. I'm taking fresh fruit and milk before bed daily as you advised me. I've also started morning walk. I hope that after these assurances you will stop worrying about me.

sundarnazI'm glade that you are fine.

Notice the spelling mistake?

sundarnazI was running a temperature

This is weird. People generally say I had a temperature.

sundarnazremained I'll

remained ill

sundarnazBut it was a temporary ailment.

This is possible but stilted.

sundarnazThe medicines prescribed by the hostel physician

The comment above also applies here.

sundarnazI'm feeling fresh and hale.

This is weird and uncommon. What does the highlighted part mean? You should rewrite it.

sundarnazIt's just the weakness followed by the illness.

This is incomplete. What does the highlighted part refer to?

sundarnazMoreover, I'm taking good care of my sleep, diet, and exercise.

This is weird because people can take care of themselves, not those things in particular. You could could say that you are improving your sleep, diet and exercise.

sundarnazI'm taking fresh fruit and milk before bed daily

You've used the highlighted parts very strangely.

The word "taking" is normally used when mentioning medicines or recreational drugs. It would be better to write I have fresh fruit and milk before bed.

Considering that people generally go to bed at night, it would be better to replace "daily" with nightly. That is unless you are someone who sleeps by day and is active at night.

sundarnazI've also started morning walk.

I've also started morning walks. Walks because you are discussing walking generally, rather than one walk in particular.
