With monsoon providing much needed respite from the summer heat, the city greets rainfall with much cheer.
Gurugram, July 16, 2019: Monsoon is a time for enjoying the rainfall and light cool breeze, with a hot cup of tea and some lip smacking snacks. However, with heavy rain falls comes a host of problems in the cities- be it waters logging, floods or a host of infections.
“Some of the most common diseases which surface strongly this monsoon are vector borne. Diseases like dengue, chikungunya and malaria, spike during this season as cooler weather and water stagnation creates conditions suitable for breeding of mosquitoes. It is important to identify various breeding spots in the city and treat them timely to prevent a possible outbreak of diseases” said Dr. P. Venkata Krishnan, Internal Medicines, Paras Hospital.
Not only vector borne diseases, but the city also experiences a spike in infections. Some of the most common diseases other than allergies include diarrhoea, typhoid, viral fever, and leptospirosis. Other than these, various other infections are finding due space.
“Viral fever cases are on the rise, with a significant increase in patient footfall. There are many cases of stomach infections, jaundice, diarrhoea, typhoid, and leptospirosis being reported from most densely populated areas of the city or from the suburbs” added Dr. Krishnan.
As prevention is better than cure, below are some tips that can protect you during rains:
“Only being proactive with precautionary methods can eliminate the chances of a bad monsoon experience. In case of any signs, do consult a qualified medical practitioner instead of going for self-medication,” said Dr. Krishnan
