In an Instagram video, Doctor Vishakha shared easy ways to protect yourself from monsoon-related diseases.
After the brutal heat, people wait for the Monsoon season and how. Even though it feels refreshing, the arrival of the rains might bring several illnesses and infections that could endanger your family's health. The good news is that, if you take the appropriate precautions, you may easily stay healthy during these months. In a video shared on Instagram, doctor Vishakha addressed people's concerns about the monsoon ailments and discussed ways through which you can keep yourself safe through the season.
She said, "We are halfway into the monsoon and we are seeing so many gastro and monsoon diseases at the clinic. These are some of the common tips that I give my patients and I would like you to follow them too. 1. Make sure there is no stagnant water in plants or any of the buckets or any other place surrounding your house as stagnant water is a breeding spot for mosquitoes, dengue as well as malaria. 2. Make sure you are not eating food from the street. This is not the time of the year that you need to experiment with what you eat. 3. Make sure you have filtered water and not tap water. 4. Make sure to apply sunscreen. Most of us think cause it's cloudy there is no need to use sunscreen but the fact is that you are still going to get sunburned if you don't use it."
The caption read, "Afraid of the monsoon affecting your health adversely? Well, you should. From gastroenteritis to sunburns, the entire spectrum of conditions are on the rise. Following basic principles of hygiene, refraining from cold street food, eliminating stagnant water, and even wearing sunscreen can protect you from most monsoon ailments. Stay well!"
