What should i eat in dengue? - #12049

Aasha

I am feeling really lost right now. So, my brother just got diagnosed with dengue and it’s kinda scary. He’s been running a high fever, really weak, and like covered in rashes. He can’t even keep food down! The doc mentioned something about hydration being super important, but I’m worried about what exactly he should eat in dengue to help him get better. I’ve read mixed things online about dietary suggestions, and honestly, it’s confusing. Some say clear broths and fruits, while others are like, stick to rice and plain stuff. Should I be focusing more on carbs or proteins? What should i eat in dengue can’t seem to come clearly. He’s been craving something a bit flavorful but I don’t wanna mess up. Also, what if he doesn’t have much of an appetite? Should I push him to eat more or just stick to smaller meals? I just want him to feel better, you know? How do we make sure we’re healing him right through his diet? Help please! Any specific foods or things to avoid when someone is down with dengue would be super helpful!
