Are you feeling better vs Are you feeling any better

Both these phrases are correct, but used in slightly different contexts. 'Are you feeling better?' is a general question about someone's health or well-being. 'Are you feeling any better?' is more specific and implies the person was previously unwell or not feeling good. The addition of 'any' emphasizes the comparison between the current state and a previous state of feeling unwell.
