What should be the diet plan during recovery from dengue?
Dr. DK Gupta, Chairman and Director of Felix Hospital. It is said that after recovering from dengue, many patients become weak. Due to lack of strength, it takes time to recover. In such a situation, appetite also decreases, hence it is important to take special care of proper diet and medicine.
Doctors say that in this condition the patient should take more liquid diet. Therefore, drink coconut water, ORS, fresh fruit juice and fresh water as much as possible in your routine.
Doctors advise that due to dengue, strength in the body decreases. In such a situation, focus on protein intake is necessary for recovery. For this, consume pulses, cheese, egg or chicken-fish in right quantity. If you want to eat light then you can make moong dal soup and drink it.
During this period, the immunity of the body also goes down, hence eat such things which have more Vitamin C. For this, consumption of seasonal fruits is best. However, such things should also be eaten which have high amount of iron.
