This past few days seemed like I haven't been feeling well because my baby got sick again.She's been diagnosed with dengue fever.So I wanted to share some traditional remedies for dengue to boost her immunity and support her platelets to increase..There's no scientific evidence that this can cure or treats such disease but there's a study that it has (papaya leaves)a potential to support platelet counts.But still should never replaced professional treatment.
I got a little bit worried because it has been for 3 days that her fever is on and off. That's why I'm moved and decided to bring her to the nearest hospital.After all the several laboratory test had been done to her like CBC,dengue test and urinalysis.
And here's the result,she's been positive for a dengue.
She was given antibiotics and a prescription to take more fluids like the apple juice and pocari juice.So I bought all of these.
The doctor advised us to stay outpatient because this is the 4th time my daughter got this,and it's platelets still on the normal range.
She will be brought again this Wednesday to have her CBC again checked.
So as a mother,what I should always looked after is all the welfare of my child..So I also tried this Papaya Leaf Herbal Juice a traditional dengue support.
With the help of my sister in law,she brought a lot of papaya leaves at home.
These are the papaya leaves that will be using in extracting the juice(preferably male papaya leaves will be used including its flowers)
What I did with these lots of papaya leaves is I washed them thoroughly and cut its stalk..Only the leaves and it's flowers will be used in extracting it's juice.
Since I don't brought the blender here in my mother's house,what I did was washed my hands properly and just chop the leaves into smaller pieces.Place the leaves in a pan,and rub it as much as you can to extract the juice.I just used a fine cloth to remove the juice.
So since the juice has a bitter taste,you can always add honey or mix it in a juice to balance the bitter taste.I let my daughter drink this in a small amount after extracting it and mix with a little yakult.
This juice is extremely has a bitter taste,I used this traditionally in supporting my daughter's immunity.Still a proper hydration,rest and medical monitoring are still essentials.
This would be the updates for my life as of now.. I'm happy that I still share a part of my life today despite being a bit busy.See you in the next blog journey.Bye🥰
