dengue home treatment - #15466
I am really worried about my sister right now. Last week she came back from a trip and started showing symptoms that looked like dengue. We thought maybe it was just fatigue at first, but then the fever hit, like really high, and there were these weird rashes on her skin. We took her to the doctor and they said it was dengue, but they didn’t keep her for long since luckily it was mild... I dont want us to freak out, but I really want to know more about dengue home treatment since the dr mentioned we can manage some stuff at home too. She’s been so drained and doesn’t want to eat, and I don’t know what to do. I heard about drinking lots of fluids and that helps with dengue home treatment, but what else should we be doing? Can we give her herbal tea or something? I read some things about papaya leaf juice being good for platelet levels, is that true? It’s all so confusing. Like, how do we know when she needs more medical help or if it's working? I dont want to miss a sign that could be serious... I just want to make sure I’m helping her the right way with this dengue home treatment. Any tips would be great to keep her comfortable during this tough time!
