In Reply to: Dengue posted by Madu on Thursday, 9. December 2010 at 15:33 Bali Time:
i had DHF (the next step up from 'normal' dengue) in May. on top of that, they said i had typhoid (i dont think did - apparently blood tests for both are similar and i didnt have symptoms of typhoid), fluid on my lung (as a result of the DHF) and an infected gallbladder.
not fun at all. hospital for a week here in Bali followed by a week where i couldnt even sit up - had to lie down all the time as my energy was so low.
apparently one of the best things is to get some fresh coconut juice (not milk) and drink it about 5 times a day - its full of electrolites. you may also want to look at a naturopathic way of fighting it, which is ingesting iodine (you will have to google for the doses).
i also did acupuncture here in Bali for some time and it seems to have helped.
Good luck! i wish you a speedy recovery.
