dengue diet - #15933
I am really worried right now cause my brother just got diagnosed with dengue, and I'm trying to figure out the best dengue diet for him. He started feeling sick last week, tons of headaches, high fevers, and now he’s just really weak. The doctor said that keeping him hydrated is super important, but what about food? Like, are there specific things in a dengue diet that can help with recovery? I’ve read some articles mention fruits and vegetable but I'm not sure which ones are best since he's not eating much right now. He hates eating bland stuff, and I want to make sure whatever I cook fits into a dengue diet without going overboard with flavors, you know? I heard things like papaya or guava might be good—but are there any other must-have food items in a dengue diet? I don’t know if I should be focusing on any particular nutrients or what. Will he need more protein or something? We’ve been trying to get him to drink coconut water too cause I've heard that's good, but is that enough? I just want to make sure I’m doing everything right for him to get better. Any advice on a dengue diet that really works would be super appreciated!
