My husband and I just recover from dengue…….my husband symptom is a bit different from me……husband dengue symptom….high fever, shivering, nausea, rashes, body pain… while my symptom …high fever, vomit, shivering, body pain and bad rashes…… the biggest different is my platelet did not drastically drop but my husband platelet drop until 18 and doc do platelet transfusion…
…all advise from friends & family I try to help increase my husband platelet…..crab soup and etc but its not work (maybe not suitable for him) until one day one of nurses told us to drink kiwi juice….since both of us admitted …difficult for us to get Kiwi juice…luckily during dinner time…the hospital serve Kiwi juice for my husband and slice of kiwi fruit for me…..the next day….my hubby platelet increase to 82 and my platelet increase from 150 to 169….and the doc allow us to discharged…..actually I’m not really well…the next 2 days I do blood test again and my platelet drop again to 141……the doc quite surprise and told me if I still feel weak, she want me to admit again…..my husband bought me Kiwi juice and force me to drink….luckily after 2 days my platelet increase to 300….

Another fresh story…my husband’s aunt also infected with dengue fever….her platelet drop to 76…. I bought her Kiwi juice and the next day ..her platelet increased to 170…..and doc allow her to discharge….

After all there is no harm in consuming Kiwi juice.
