Dengue Cases Rise; Diet Tips to Help Boost Platelet Count

Dengue fever is spreading in India, especially during the rainy season.

It can make you very sick and lower the number of platelets in your blood, which help stop bleeding.

A nutrition expert suggests eating certain foods to help your body recover and increase your platelet count.

These include fruits like pomegranate and citrus, vegetables like pumpkin and spinach, and drinks like coconut water.

To avoid getting dengue, it's important to prevent mosquito bites by removing standing water where they breed and using bug spray.

If you have symptoms, see a doctor right away.
