Dengue fever is a viral infection caused by dengue virus that is transmitted via mosquitoes. Increased mortality from the infection also shows that the threat is real. Definitive treatment such as antiviral therapy has not been established and anti-dengue vaccination development was hampered by unprecedented issues. Therefore, alternative treatments have to be sought out. With the cultural diversity and the availability of various tropical plants and food, people in this region have tried and studied various complementary ailments for the infection. People also are looking towards a prophetic approach in preventing and treating dengue infection. This paper illustrates dengue infection from the epidemiological point of view, the standard therapy and issues pertaining to the infection. This paper also discusses complementary treatments of dengue infection such as Carica papaya leaf, coconut juice, Euphorbia hirta and Psidium guajava leaf. Scientific evidence of the effectiveness of these treatments is explained in detail. This paper also looks at the scientific evidence and literatures by Islamic scholars with regards to the use of prophetic methods in the treatment of dengue infection. Dates were shown to be effective in increasing platelet counts. In conclusion, complementary and prophetic medicine may benefit patients with dengue fever infection as an adjunct therapy.

Abstrak
Demam denggi adalah jangkitan virus denggi yang disebarkan melalui gigitan nyamuk. Peningkatan kematian akibat jangkitan juga menunjukkan keseriusan jangkitannya. Rawatan khusus seperti terapi antiviral belum lagi wujud dan penggunaan vaksin anti-denggi terhalang oleh kesan buruk. Oleh itu, rawatan alternatif telah dikaji dan dicari. Dengan kepelbagaian budaya dan pelbagai tumbuhan tropika dan makanan, pengkaji di rantau ini telah mencuba dan mempelajari pelbagai penawar untuk jangkitan denggi. Pengkaji juga meninjau pendekatan sunnah dalam mencegah dan merawat jangkitan denggi. Kertas ini menerangkan jangkitan denggi dari sudut pandang epidemiologi, terapi standard dan isu berkaitan dengan jangkitan. Kertas ini juga membincangkan rawatan sampingan denggi seperti daun betik, jus kelapa, tawa-tawa dan daun jambu batu. Bukti saintifik mengenai keberkesanan rawatan ini diterangkan secara terperinci. Kertas ini juga melihat bukti saintifik dan literatur oleh sarjana Islam berkaitan dengan penggunaan kaedah sunnah dalam rawatan jangkitan denggi. Kurma didapati berkesan untuk meningkatkan bilangan platelet. Sebagai kesimpulan, terapi sampingan dan terapi sunnah boleh memberi manfaat kepada pesakit dengan jangkitan demam denggi sebagai terapi tambahan.
