I am not a doctor. This is just sharing what I believe helped us.
Go to the doctor or hospital if you are not feeling well.
Remember, follow your doctor. If anything on the list below is not allowed,
then don't do it.
What we did while confined in the hospital:
1. Prayers
Praying is the best first thing to do. It will also make you calm. You can do it silently while
traveling to the hospital, or whenever there is a chance.
The following are not necessarily in order:
2. Tawa-tawa
We believe it is effective. Boil to make a drink.
3. Camote tops and malunggay
Very nutritious, sure this will help.
4. Water
Drink plenty of clean water, alkaline if available. Avoid distilled water because it is acidic.
It is a good sign if you keep on urinating and drinking. This was the time when my wife and
two nephews are getting better. They kept on drinking and urinating. Same with other
dengue patients.
For the following, avoid red and dark colors:
5. Food
This is the time to be "matakaw", eat a lot specially the nutritious food.
6. Fruit Juices
Drink a lot of fruit juices. If possible, the real or natural ones, not in can, bottle or tetra pack.
7. Sports drinks
This may also help but be moderate.
I am also suggesting to the ones who are capable of donating clean water, food and dextrose to the dengue patients, please do so.
