Papaya

Papaya leaf juice is a home remedy to increase platelet counts in dengue patients.

Kiwi

The kiwi fruit contains vitamins E, C, K, and zinc. It also has tons of fiber and antioxidants.

Pomegranate

Polyphenolic flavonoids, which are abundant in pomegranates and have anti-microbial properties. Due to its high iron content, it is very beneficial for the blood.

Guava

Unquestionably one of the greatest fruits for dengue, guava is also high in vitamin C. The immune system and platelet production both benefit from vitamin C. 

Spinach

It is a great source of vitamin K, which can improve blood clotting without directly increasing platelet count.

Beetroot

It has significant concentrations of folic acid and iron, both of which are necessary for the development of red blood cells. 

Broccoli

A dengue patient must include broccoli in their daily diet if their platelet count falls. Minerals and antioxidants are also abundant in it.

Sprouts

Sprouts might be helpful to include in your list of foods to eat during dengue.
