The rainy season has 2 adversities - illnesses during the rainy season and the illnesses which occur after the rains. In fact, the illnesses which affect after the rainy season are even more severe. The complaint virus flu related to cold complaint generally affects during the rainy season to the onset of winter season due to the reason that there are more germs and bacteria which spread in this season. This affects all age groups.
The stagnant water on the roads/streets is another factor. This is where mosquitoes breed. They spread dengue and malaria. So, keep the windows shut from the evening time. Better install mosquito nets. Better use a liquid mosquito repeller than the coils which emit smoke. It is also better to avoid applying mosquito repellent creams.
Please ensure that there is no stagnant water on the house front. There is another illness which is similar to dengue. During this fever, pains in the joint, swelling of the skin, and high fever are experienced. A blood test must be taken and suitable medicine is to be taken.
Another factor is the sewage water mixing with the rainwater. This also pollutes the drinking water. Drinking this water may lead to diarrhoea, ulcer in the liver, or worms in the liver.
Also, the food taken in the winter period takes a longer time to digest. So, it is better to take food early during the nights. Avoid oily and deep-fried food items. Take items which are digested easily. Avoid taking cream cakes sold in the bakeries. Avoid eating in roadside shops. Take only home-cooked food. Drink only boiled water.
Chill winds blow during the winter. So, it is better for the people with complaints like wheezing, asthma, etc., not to venture going out. In case it is a must, wear suitable woollen clothes and ear muffs.
Skin problems are also encountered during the winter season. As the skin gets dry, use moisturising lotion. For those who have dry skin, they need to consult the expert and take suitable treatment.
