Debe sentirse todo mejor!

You're attempting to translate a word-at-a-time, which usually doesn't work. Heidita provided a perfectly reasonable way to say "You should feel much better." (which, as it happens, does match up word-for-word).

If you insist on "all better", you're going to need to make other changes, as well ("sentirse todo mejor" is weird). Perhaps, "Debe sentirse completamente curado." (You should feel completely/entirely cured. [or some such]). Going slightly further afield, "Su problema/enfermedad debe estar completament resuelto/a." There are lots of ways to communicate the general idea but "sentirse todo mejor" is not one of them.

do you have any idea as to saying : don't walk too much?

If you are usted-ing them, then say: No camine muy mucho.

If you are tu-ing them, then say: No camines muy mucho.

"muy mucho" ?? I'd suggest "demasiado". - samdie, Sep 29, 2010

Heidita,

Would you say that se sentiría mucho mejor is equal in meaning to debe sentirse mucho mejor? Or, no?

Hmmm, do you mean, you should feel much better?

Debe sentirse mucho mejor.

All better = completely well. Slightly different than "much better." - webdunce, Sep 28, 2010
