Monsoon brings relief to people struggling with heat. Faces brighten up as the drops of relief fall from the sky. But during this time many diseases also knock at the door. Along with consulting a doctor, pathology tests also have to be done to diagnose the disease. Negligence in this can prove to be costly. Let us know how we can avoid these diseases that flourish in the monsoon season...

Typhoid takes hold

Typhoid cases start coming up during the rainy season. This problem is caused by contaminated food and water. Its symptoms include continuous high fever, feeling weak, stomach pain and lack of appetite. During this time, this disease can be detected by testing blood.

Risk of malaria

This disease is caused by mosquitoes. During rains, water collects around the house. Malaria mosquitoes breed in it. When you get affected by malaria, you may face problems like high fever, chills, shivers, excessive sweating and severe anemia. If you are careless, you may develop cerebral malaria, which is a dangerous condition. Along with this, seizures, kidney failure, jaundice and respiratory diseases may also occur. To detect this disease, doctors get blood tests done.

The danger of dengue

There is a risk of this disease spreading the most during the rains. According to a report, every year thousands of people in India lose their lives due to this disease. In the year 2021, more than one lakh cases of dengue were reported. Actually, the female Aedes mosquito breeds when rainwater accumulates. Dengue is caused by the bite of this mosquito. This mosquito usually bites during the day or before sunset. Body ache along with high fever are common symptoms of dengue. Apart from this, symptoms like sweating, headache, eye pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness, mild bleeding and low blood pressure can also be seen during dengue. Negligence in dengue can be dangerous. Bleeding can lead to the risk of organ failure if the platelet count is low.

joint pain i.e. chikungunya

Chikungunya is also a disease caused by mosquitoes, which breed in stagnant water. Chikungunya is spread by the tiger Aedes albopictus mosquito. Its symptoms usually appear 3 to 7 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. It causes severe pain in the body and joints along with fever.

Influenza also troubles

Influenza cases also start increasing in the changing weather. This infection spreads rapidly. Symptoms like fever, muscle pain, sore throat, blocked nose, dry and persistent cough are seen.

Stomach may get upset

Negligence in hygiene during rainy season can cause stomach infection. This can cause stomach cramps and diarrhea. Diarrhea creates the risk of dehydration in the body.
