My Dad just recovered from Dengue fever and I'm so glad he did. During the time when he was hospitalized, I searched online for different kinds of natural remedies that could help a victim to fight dengue. (There are no medicine for treating dengue fever. It all depends on the victim's immune system) Just wanted to share my findings...
Papaya
Papaya is a very good fruit. Even the hospitals give dengue patients papaya in their meals. A lot of online posts said that the juice from papaya leaves would help to cure dengue fever. We wanted to try it out (we even got the leaves ready), but were scared that there may be side effects...So, we stick to the safest choice - eating the papaya fruit. It is supposed to help increase the victim's platelet counts, which could fall to a dangerously low level in bad conditions.
Bitter gourd (small ones)
A friend recommended taking the juice of mini bitter gourds. It's really bitter, but it's really good for the body.
I believe these could help a dengue fever victim fight against the virus, in addition to the help of a doctor.
