Hello Natural Medicine Lovers, today I will share the experience of the second day in the hospital against dengue fever.The second day in the hospital, my condition seemed to be getting worse,I had difficulty breathing and had to use oxygen cylinders, I don't know why????The back of the head also hurts and causes decreased appetite. I was so worried and anxious, because I had to increase my platelet count to at least 90,000 said the nurse who helped me.But how will I increase my platelet count, if I have no appetite to eat?
So the second day at the hospital, I had green bean porridge for breakfast (I bought it from outside because the hospital didn't provide it).Mung bean is a source of vegetable protein that is proven to be effective in helping increase the number of platelets in dengue fever sufferers, because in 100 grams of green beans contain nutrients:
- Water : 71 percent
- Calories: 109 mg
- Protein: 8.7 g
- Fat: 0.5 g
- Carbohydrates: 18.3 g
- Fiber: 1.5 g

I really wanted to get out of the hospital, so the food and drink I ate was all about how to increase my platelet count. after being checked on the first day, the nurse said my platelet count rose from 25,000 to 75,000 and today (second day) my platelet count must rise to 90,000, so the doctor will allow me to go home.
On the second day, the number of red bumps on my body was much higher (so it was confirmed that my platelet count had dropped due to dengue hemorrhagic fever).
I asked my husband to make beetroot and date juice, the combination of these two juices proved to be effective in increasing the platelet count quickly.
Actually I don't like this beetroot juice, because of its distinctive smell (unpleasant), so I combine it with dates.
why do I combine dates? because date palm juice is proven to be effective in increasing the number of platelets, I also use dates to reduce the unpleasant odor of beetroot.
Red beets have long been known among traditional people to help treat dengue fever, because 100 grams of beets contain the following nutrients:
- Water: 87.6 grams
- Protein: 1.6 grams
- Fat: 0.1 grams
- Carbohydrates: 9.6 grams
- Fiber: 2.6 grams
- Calcium: 27 milligrams (mg)
- Phosphorus: 43 mg
- Iron: 1.0 mg
- Sodium: 29 mg
- Potassium: 404.9 mg
- Copper: 0.20 mg
- Zinc: 0.7 mg
- Total carotene: 20 mcg
- Thiamine (Vitamin B1): 0.02 mg
- Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 0.05 mg
- Niacin: 0.3 mg
- Vitamin C: 10 mg

Usually patients with dengue fever consume date fruit juice to help increase the platelet count. I combine beets and dates to make fresh juice.
In 100 grams of dates there are nutrients:
Calories: 281 kcal
Total fat: 0.03 g
Total carbs: 5.33 g
Fiber: 0.6 gr
Sugar: 4.5 g
Protein: 0.17 g
Vitamin B6: 0.012 mg

Magnesium: 3 mg
Potassium: 47 mg

The ingredients needed to make this juice consist of 3 ingredients, namely :
1 beet (200 grams)
dates 10 pieces
ice water 500 mL
How to make :
The first step: wash the beetroot and then peel the skin and then cut it into smaller pieces.
The second step: separate the date seeds from the dates, remove the seeds.
The third step: mix pieces of beets, dates and ice water.Put all to blend.
The Fourth step: strain, remove the foam that is above the juice.
while the rest of the filter which is rich in fiber do not throw away, store it in the refrigerator and we can use it for a delicious chili mixture.
This is the combination of beetroot juice and dates that can increase the number of platelets in dengue fever patients.
In the afternoon when the nurse took my blood sample, I felt a little relieved because I had been drinking beetroot juice and dates.
in the evening, the nurse said my platelet count rose to 95,000. I was very happy to hear that, but the nurse told me, tomorrow morning when my blood is checked again, then my platelet count should exceed 100,000. So at night, I eat goat satay and soup to keep my platelets stable the next morning.
on the third day (the next morning) when my blood was checked, my platelet count was 120,000 and in the afternoon I was allowed to go home.Beet juice and dates can also help people with anemia.
Keep the spirit and don't forget to take care of your health (don't be too tired from work) because I already feel how tired my body is from working a few days outside the city and I don't pay attention to my nutrition, so I can catch dengue fever
Very informative.
thanks so much @technicalone

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a dangerous disease, the symptoms of which must be treated immediately, and recovery will depend mainly on the food eaten. You have done well to drink beet juice, Nature is wise, and everything that involves the strengthening of our blood will be red. That is why juices of strawberries, blackberries, acerola are also good, they help the recovery of platelets and hemoglobin. Coconut water as well. I am so glad you were able to get out of the hospital. I hope you are doing well. Best regards.
yes you are right, young coconut water can also help dengue fever sufferers, thank you for reminding @sirenahippie
