Take nutritious food like banana, dal, idli, pomegranate, apple, nuts. Adequate rest should be given to the body. Stay away from mobile and TV. At least eight hours of sleep is required. The more you rest, the faster you will recover. Taking papaya leaf juice to reduce fever is not correct to follow home tips. Home remedies sometimes do more harm than good.
It is said that taking juices like papaya and giloy prevents platelet count from falling during dengue. But drinking the juice of this leaf can cause vomiting. May lead to underlying dehydration. Instead of these fresh fruits and vegetables should be taken. Instead of drinking papaya juice, you should take plenty of immune boosting vegetable soup and coconut water.
