Hi @paulina – since it’s an urgent matter, I’ll reply to you here but I kindly request to copy/paste your question into the correct forum category called “Immunity, Getting Sick & Antibiotics” so that you can easily find the reply later on. This feed gets crowded quickly and messages easily get lost here: https://bbv2.genesisengine.io/forums/forum/immunity-getting-sick-antibiotics/
Since Dengue fever is caused by a virus transmitted through mosquito bites, antibiotics won’t be effective because they treat bacterial infections, not viral ones.
Best option is to support the body’s immunity to fight off the viral infection. We have a virus/flus support protocol here: https://bbv2.genesisengine.io/resource-library/getting-sick/virus-flu-support/
Most dengue cases are mild and resolve within 1â2 weeks with supportive care. But if her symptoms worsen, definitely seek medical attention.
