Dengue – How to recover faster and boost platelets naturally? - #16567
Last week, I was diagnosed with dengue, and it’s been a rough experience. The fever was unbearable for the first few days, and I had severe body pain, headaches, and chills. The doctor told me there’s no specific medicine for dengue, just rest and hydration. My platelet count dropped to 90,000, and they kept monitoring it every day. Thankfully, it didn't go too low, and I didn't need hospitalization, but I still feel extremely weak even though the fever is gone now. I’ve been drinking a lot of fluids, like coconut water and ORS, and eating papaya leaves because people said it helps increase platelets. But I still feel exhausted, and my recovery is very slow. I can barely sit for long, and my appetite is not back to normal. Even after eating, I don’t feel energetic. My muscles feel weak, and I keep getting lightheaded. Are there any Ayurvedic remedies that can help in recovering from dengue faster? Are there specific foods, herbs, or tonics that can help boost platelet count naturally and regain strength? Also, I don’t want to rely too much on chemical-based medicines, so I’m looking for natural ways to help my body heal. Is there anything I should completely avoid during dengue recovery? And how long does it usually take for full strength to come back? I need to get back to work soon, but I still feel drained even after sleeping a lot. Please suggest effective Ayurvedic ways to speed up the healing process.
