Megan Young gives health update as she recovers from dengue

Megan Young gave a health update to her followers as she recovers from dengue. 

In her latest update shared on her broadcast channel on January 19, the Miss World 2013 revealed that she fell ill with dengue, which she only discovered while already on the road to recovery.

“I got sick. Little did I know, I had dengue!! Only found out when I was recovering na (I had itchy patches all over my body),” Megan said.

According to the actress, her illness affected her ability to produce milk for her son Leon.

“All is good now but getting sick affected my milk supply so much. I had such a struggle with my milk that during the holidays when I got sick again, I decided to start weaning,” she wrote.

“It’s been sooooo hard weaning but after slowly doing so for 1.5months, I’m starting to feel more like myself, less stressed, less snacking (nakakagutom mag pump!!), and less pressured." 

Ending her post, Megan reminded her fellow moms to keep their babies fed. 

“Always remember that fed is best. We mommas know what is best for ourselves and our bebes.”

Megan and her husband, Mikael Daez, tied the knot in 2020. They welcomed Leon in May 2025.

Since welcoming Leon, the couple has been sharing their experiences as first-time parents.

The family recently traveled to Singapore.
