Monsoon is a delightful season but it brings along a host of diseases with it. You might enjoy the pitter patter of raindrops one fine evening and for the next four or five days you would be lying in bed recovering from fever and other such ailments.
Dengue scare
However, till the time they identify the strain it is recommend that you take following measures:
- Don’t allow water stagnation; ensure free flow of water in drains.
- Clean water coolers every weekend.
- Use insect repellents because Aedes mosquitoes operate during the day.
- If you have slight fever get medical tests done immediately.
H1N1 Scare
Keep away H1N1 virus by:
- Avoid going to crowded/public places.
- Cover your nose and mouth while sneezing.
- Use alcohol based hand sanitizers.
- Don’t share towels, utensils, drinks.
- Keep away from people with cold and flu symptoms.
- Use respiratory masks if need be.
Common Cold and Flu scare
We suggest that you:
- Drink lots of fluids like water, soups and fresh fruit juices.
- Gargle with lukewarm saline water.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol if you notice cold and flu symptom.
So follow a simple rule -- prevent any occurrence so that you don’t have to find a cure.
May the monsoons bless you with a shower of good health! Until next monsoon keep safe.
