The effects of seasonal diseases are being seen these days in entire North India including Lucknow. If you also want to stay healthy in this rain, then a little carelessness towards your health can take you to the hospital. Let us know what things you can keep in mind to keep yourself and your family safe in this rainy season.

Moisture is the root of fungal infection, protect yourself like this

During the rainy season, the level of moisture in the air is very high, which helps fungal infections to grow rapidly. Accumulation of sweat and moisture between the toes, in the armpits or in other parts of the body increases the problem of ringworm, scabies and itching. The easiest way to avoid this is cleanliness. After coming out of the house, wash your hands and feet thoroughly and keep dry those parts of the body where there is excessive sweating. Always wear cotton and loose clothes so that air flow is maintained. If you are forced to wear wet clothes, change them as soon as possible and use only well-dried clothes.

Keep your stomach healthy, be careful in your eating habits.

During monsoon, contaminated water and open food are the most common causes of vomiting and diarrhoea. Bacteria spread rapidly in this season, so completely avoid cut fruits, juices or junk food available on the roadside. Even at home, eat fresh food and use drinking water only after boiling or filtering it. Include natural immunity boosters like ginger, basil, and black pepper in your diet. If you feel even mild heaviness in the stomach or complain of diarrhea, immediately take ORS solution and rely on light food (like khichdi or curd-rice).

Viral fever and caution: When to consult a doctor?

Viral fever due to continuous wetting or sudden change in temperature is common in this season. Its main symptoms are weakness in the body, muscle pain and mild fever. In such a situation, instead of taking antibiotics yourself, take rest and drink lukewarm water. If the fever goes above 102°F or persists for three consecutive days, do not ignore it and get checked by a nearby doctor immediately. Do not allow water to accumulate around the house, as it is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which cause dengue and malaria. The key to staying healthy is vigilance and discipline in eating habits.
