what to avoid in dengue - #38455
I am feeling really concerned because my cousin was just diagnosed with dengue, and it’s been a wild ride! She started with a sudden high fever, body aches, and pretty much all the classic symptoms. We were really worried, especially after hearing about the serious issues dengue can cause. Honestly, just thinking about it gives me jitters. I remember last year we had another family member dealt with dengue too, and it was not pretty. Now, with this happening again, I want to help her out and make sure we're doing things right. I’ve read a few things about what to avoid in dengue, but it's all kinda confusing. Like, I've seen that people say to stay away from certain foods, and I’m just not clear on what those are. Is it spicy food or something? Also, what should we be extra careful of in her daily routine? I heard rest is crucial, but are there any specific activities to steer clear of? She’s had moments where she feels better, and then bam – she's back to feeling awful. It’s like a rollercoaster! I really want to support her through this, but I just need to know definitively what to avoid in dengue, like how to help without messing things up! Can anyone share insights or tips on managing this without making it worse? Would be super grateful!

In managing dengue fever, it’s essential to avoid things that can aggravate symptoms or delay recovery. First and foremost, one should avoid dehydration. Ensure your cousin drinks plenty of fluids – water, coconut water, and fresh fruit juices can be beneficial. These help maintain the body’s electrolyte balance and flush out toxins. Steer clear of fizzy drinks and excessive caffeine as they can further dehydrate the body.
Spicy and heavy foods should also be avoided. Such foods can aggravate the digestive system, which is already weak during dengue. Acidic and spicy food might cause discomfort and could intensify nausea. Instead, focus on light, easily digestible meals. Warm khichdi (a rice and lentil dish), soups, and broths can be soothing and nourishing.
In terms of lifestyle and daily routine, rest is indeed crucial—allow the body to heal. Avoid physical exertion or strenuous activities. These require energy and can increase fatigue. Just light stretching or gentle body movements, if she feels up to it, are fine just to keep circulation going without over-exerting.
Another key consideration is to refrain from taking aspirin or ibuprofen as they can thin blood and increase risk of bleeding, which is especially dangerous with dengue. Just stick to paracetamol (acetaminophen) for pain and fever as it’s safer.
Avoid exposure to mosquitoes further to prevent secondary infections. Make sure her environment is clean, with no stagnant water to attract mosquitoes.
Finally, while Ayurveda has cleansing and balance-restoring remedies, during acute dengue, it’s crucial to monitor her condition closely and seek immediate medical intervention if symptoms worsen, especially if the fever persists, or shows signs of severe illness like abdominal pain, vomiting, or bleeding. Balancing modern medicine with supportive ayurvedic care can offer the best outcomes.
