How soon after recovering from dengue can I start drinking alcohol again? I've been feeling good for about a week now and my vitals are back to normal. Is it safe to have a drink, or should I wait a bit longer?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 2-3 weeks after recovering from dengue fever before consuming alcohol. This allows your body to fully recover and regain its strength. Remember to start with small amounts and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort.
