Climate changes can affect different people in different ways and depend on many factors, especially how well developed our immune system is. Some people’s immune systems are strong and can withstand climate changes without experiencing any health problems, while others may suffer from viral fevers or other related problems.
Depending on the region, the monsoon season in India typically lasts from June to August. During this period, various fevers and viral diseases can spread through water, air and vectors.
What is a viral fever?
A group of viral infections affecting the body and characterized by fever, burning eyes, headaches, body aches, nausea and vomiting are collectively known as viral fevers. A higher incidence of viral fever is seen in children and the elderly due to their weakened immune systems.
How is viral fever treated?
According to doctors, viral fever is a common illness that can usually be treated at home unless it becomes severe enough to require hospitalization. Common methods to help relieve symptoms include:
• Use over-the-counter fever medications, such as Crocin or Dysprin. However, these medications must be taken under medical prescription, especially in cases of minors.
• Make sure your body gets enough sleep and relaxation.
• It is important to stay hydrated in these circumstances, so be sure to drink enough water.
• Warm your body with a warm bath.
How can viral fever be prevented?
Although fevers and viral illnesses are common, especially during the monsoon season, taking some simple precautions will help reduce their likelihood to a great extent. Doctors suggest the following tips to avoid fever and viral infections:
• Hand sanitizing with disinfectants or washing with soap are good ways to practice personal hygiene, especially after entering closed spaces.
• Keep your surroundings and home tidy.
• You should not communicate with someone you know is infected.
• Avoid touching your lips and nose frequently, especially outdoors.
• Always cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. To prevent the disease from spreading, do not go to public places if you are sick and have a fever.
• Eating a nutritious and balanced diet will help you stay healthy and maintain a strong immune system.
• Exercise frequently, stay well hydrated, and get at least eight hours of sleep each night.
