About 2 months ago, my mum had dengue and was hospitalized for a week. It was a scary and sad time for us all because of mom’s age and that her blood platelet count was very low. During that period, dengue fever was at the endemic level in our country and many people were infected with it. We spent every day praying that mom’s blood platelet count would increase and 2 days after she was admitted to the hospital, the platelet count dropped to 10 so the doctor has moved her to the CDU ward for close monitoring. We gave her papaya leave juice daily but it didn’t really work for her.
So my sister double boiled frog and bitter gourds for mom to drink. The soup has to be boiled for 4 hours, using 3 frogs and 4 small bittergourd each time. No water was added. Mom got better after drinking this soup twice. Her blood platelet count increased, although slow and after the 2nd night in CDU, she was moved back to the normal ward. She was discharged from the hospital after a week when the count increased to 80. Now, do you what is it that we never forget to use daily? Not clothing that is liquid repellent but these :-
Whenever we go outdoor, we all smell like lemongrass 🙂
I always wonder, does these patches works?
I think they do, especially the ones with a strong lemongrass smell. The mozzies would stay away 🙂
Glad to hear that your mum had recovered =)
Hi, Thanks.
