foods for dengue patient - #18943

Shivam

I am really worried about my brother, he just got diagnosed with dengue last week. He has been feeling super weak and has had this really high fever that just won’t go down. He’s been in the hospital for a few days now, and they keep telling us to make sure he eats well, but I’m like, what are the best foods for a dengue patient? I mean, I know hydration is important, but what are the actual foods for dengue patients that will help him recover faster? I’ve heard that fruits like papaya and pomegranate can be good but I’m not sure about how he can incorporate them into meals. Also, should he be eating rice? Some nurse said something about avoiding heavy foods but I'm at a loss here, is plain rice ok? Ugh, I just want to do everything right! Anyone have any suggestions on what foods for dengue patients are really effective? Also, is there a specific diet plan or something he should follow? Trying to figure this out quickly as I want to bring him something nutritious when I visit. Any tips from those who've been through it would mean a lot!
