Heavy rain brings fevers, stomach infections and skin problems. Here is how to keep your family healthy this season.
Silchar's monsoon is beautiful, but the damp weather and waterlogged lanes also bring a rise in viral fevers, dengue, typhoid and stomach infections. A few simple habits can protect your whole family.
Drink only safe water
Boil or filter drinking water and avoid street-side juices and cut fruit during heavy rain. Waterborne infections are the most common reason patients visit us between June and September.
Stop mosquitoes from breeding
Empty coolers, buckets and flower pots at least once a week. Use nets and repellents in the evening, especially for children and elderly family members.
Keep your skin and feet dry
Fungal infections thrive in humidity. Change out of wet clothes quickly, dry between your toes, and avoid sharing towels.
Know when to see a doctor
Fever lasting more than two days, severe body pain, persistent vomiting or rashes should not be ignored. Book an appointment early — most monsoon illnesses are easy to treat when caught on time.
