A. some studies have shown that Papaya leaf juice extract may have some beneficial effect as regards increase in platelet count however more studies need to be conducted especially safety of use also needs to be evaluated. condult doctor. breastfeeding will definitely help in dengue because as fresh milk will provide nutrition especially when appetite of the child is affected also the much-needed hydration some studies have also shown that breastfeed milk may provide antibodies to fight this infection

A. it won't help much . You should get your self or baby evaluated by the doctor in person. That will be necessary and will help in diagnosis and proper treatment. Avoid home remedies in this case .
