Yuvika Chaudhary on contracting dengue: Doctors asked Prince to arrange for blood in the middle of the night

As you might be aware, Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula had been through a tough time recently health wise. Yuvika Chaudhary, who was undergoing treatment for dengue for the last 8 days, was discharged on October 23. Yuvika and Prince had tested positive for Coronavirus before that. Recalling those days, Yuvika told TOL, “It doesn’t get worse than this. Kisiko bhi aisa kabhi na ho jo hamare saath hua hai, kuch dinno se.”

She said, “I can’t forget that night when the doctor called Prince in the middle of the night and asked him to arrange 3 units (pools) of blood platelets. Prince had to run and he brought in 20 friends and relatives to test if their blood groups matched with mine. 5 of them were found to have the same group. One unit transfusion took nearly 5 hours.”

She added, “The hospital cannot be blamed. The scenes in the corridor would make anyone’s heart sink. In today’s times of COVID-19, the hospital was full and everyone was very tense. There was a scramble for literally everything.”

Prince said that dengue was worse than COVID-19 and it started from his nephew. “Then Yuvika, my mother, father and sister and I all got it. This dengue was a far more terrible time than what Yuvika and I underwent in COVID-19.”

Yuvika said that her state was really bad. “I was vomiting profusely and had a bad stomach as well. I was running 104 degree fever. My blood pressure dropped so low that I couldn’t walk when they tried to make me get up from the bed,” she said.

Yuvika said that their immune system was weak due to COVID-19. She said, “Despite the fact that Prince and I had quarantined ourselves very well and even tested negative on COVID-19 after few days, we were yet hit by dengue. I guess, our immunity levels had gone terribly down in our post COVID-19 period.”
She went on to say, “We are still feeling very weak and eating only some solid food, it’s still mainly liquids. I am coming back to Mumbai to be with my mom for few days. Prince will stay back in Chandigarh with his parents for a few more days.”
