But dengue is ain't normal fever. You have a decrease in blood platelets and that'll make your body vulnerable to many attacks.

Cold plain water also cools down your body temperature.

i should have made my meaning plainer.. 100 plus = salt.. salt attracts water... cold water = bad for ur bones...

You have stock in the company is it? How does 100 plus help with reducing body temp that drinking normal water won't?

And the conclusion is....

100 plus cure my tiredness,a little sugar contains only..better than cola o others drinks

conclusion.. 100 plus > cold water

i also always drink alot of100plus when i'm feeling sick or like having fever. Do helps for me

Hmm I'd say I'd agree with that. It'd be better than cold water but plain water also is a must when having fever or other kind of sickness. It's just the best liquid for the body.

Heck man, i should give up, lots of 100 plus supporters ..... go google la. See how an isotonic drink can be an anti pyretic...

Got really bad fever last week. Drank 4 bottles of 100 plus 1.5l (3 days).

Too much lehh I din realised also.keep spamming

Yikes. Necro 2007 thread.

Anyway good thing is a blog post by Dr Nur Hidayati in The Malaysian Medical Gazette back in 2014 writes



How about an opinion from a columnist in The Malay Mail (also 2014) instead?


Of course, some would argue that "opinions" are a weak form of evidence, however I wasn't able to find any research paper regarding this topic.
Personally, I don't see how an isotonic drink is going to help with dengue BESIDES replacing fluids loss through heavy sweating/vomitting. That's all.

Frankly, I don't really agree with what the doctor said. Yes, drinking lots of 100 plus is not beneficial, but an adequate amount of it helps. When people fall sick, they have no appetite to eat, so the minerals in their bodies are not gonna get fully replenished if they only drink water and water will dilute the mineral level in their bodies as it will 'flush' them out of their bodies through urination. Isotonic drinks, in this case, will help the patients replenish the minerals and at the same time maintain the water concentration. Besides, directly linking diabetes to sugar intake is strictly not professional IMO when the truth is: High sugar intake ---> Increase body fats ---> Causes obesity ---> Affects endocrine system ---> Causes diabetes. From this flow, you can clearly tell obesity is the factor affecting it, not sugar intake alone.

The diabetes comment is not from the doctor btw! so yea, take it with a grain of salt!

The doctor did mention that high glucose intake may cause increased urination although this is probably more prevalent in diabetics.

Anyhoo, the clinical practise guideline for dengue management(2015) by MOH does recommend the following


For glucose content comparison,
ORS ~20g/L
100 plus ~66g/L

Again, the purpose of taking ORS is to prevent dehydration in the event of excessive sweating, nausea, vomitting or diarrhea.
