I've just recovered from Dengue fever. The fever I've never had before. Trust me, I was struggling hard to recover. 

My face was all red. My body full with red spots. I had trouble urinating because my private part was dried from dehydration. My body got so cold. I lost my appetite and had trouble finishing up my favourite foods.

I realized that I should really go to the hospital when I spotted red spots on my body after 3 days from the day I had a fever.

I was grateful and lucky because my friends were all kind hearted people. They accompanied me to the hospital and waited me there for hours when I had my blood test. I could never forget that.

Dengue is a MUST fever that should be avoided. It's horrible to me because I couldn't carry out my everyday life routine well.

Can you imagine how hard it was for me when I have to drink lots of water? One bottle after another and again and again and again. 100 plus! I'm not a fan of that drink. Thank god my father bought the lemon 

flavour.

I didn't try to drink hard at first. My father noticed that and he got angry. He said that if I'm not helping myself, I'm not going to stay alive any longer. And what's the point of him taking me to hospital if I'm the one who doesn't even bother to help myself to recover.

That got me thinking. I was scared by what he said because my body was not in a good condition at all. Back then I thought that anything can happen to me at any time. Allah is testing me with sickness because I'm always healthy. This is the way of Allah says that He can take my life anytime soon. Anything can happen in a blink of an eye.

I realized I should struggle in order to survive. I should drink lots of water as my platelet kept on decreasing. My mother was worried terribly. I know that cue. When my mother is worried, that means it really is a serious problem.

She cooked me crab soup. I could feel my body warm and starting to get sweat. And yes, my platelet increased! I wanted to dance the moment my blood test result shown that my platelet increase the next following blood test.

I want to remind you that there are no drugs that can help to cure the fever. But here are the things that can help to increase back your platelets:

1. Drink lots of water (I hate this)
2. 100 plus
3. Crab soup
4. Fruit juice
5. Barley
6. Coconut drink

And here I am. I survive! Alhamdulillah ^_^
