I’m sorry to hear about your mom’s condition. Dengue can be quite serious, and it’s good that she’s already receiving medical care. Sometimes recovery can take some time, so patience and supportive care are really important right now.
For reducing the discomfort from high fever and shivering, make sure she’s staying hydrated – plenty of fluids like coconut water, fresh juices, or just plain water. These help maintain hydration, as dengue can easily cause dehydration. Warm water can be soothing if she’s comfortable with it.
About her diet, try to focus on easily digestible foods. Moong dal khichdi or rice with well-cooked veggies can be gentle on her stomach. These foods can provide necessary energy without taxing her digestive system too much.
Rest is equally crucial, though it can be hard with the fever and chills. You might try giving her a warm bath if it doesn’t make her shiver more; it sometimes helps soothe the aches.
On an Ayurvedic note, consider bringing tulsi (holy basil) into her routine if you haven’t already. Boil a few leaves in water and let her sip it throughout the day. Tulsi is known for its immune-boosting properties. Also, giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) is often recommended in Ayurveda for fever management, but always check with her doctor, especially since she’s already under medical treatment.
You should also watch closely for any signs that could need urgent medical attention – like bleeding gums or blood in vomiting – these require quick professional attention. Keep the medical team informed about each symptom.
Most of all, keep a close connection with healthcare provider through this. Thanks to being vigilant, you’re already doing a big part in helping her recovery.
