In the monsoon season, many people experience various illnesses, with stomach infections being a common issue. Contaminated food and water often lead to gastroenteritis (stomach flu), which can affect anyone, though it’s especially concerning in children. Symptoms like vomiting, fever, diarrhea, stomach pain, or nausea are common. It’s crucial not to ignore these signs, as the infection can severely impact those with weaker immunity.
Dr. Yugam Prasad Shandilya from Delhi’s ESIC (Indira Gandhi) Hospital highlighted the increase in cases due to monsoon-related illnesses. He advised that operations are generally avoided during this season unless absolutely necessary. The primary cause of these infections is drinking contaminated water, which also leads to other seasonal diseases. Dr. Shandilya emphasized drinking clean water and avoiding street food to prevent infection.
He further recommended increasing water intake and using ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) if symptoms arise. If the condition worsens, seek immediate medical attention. For more updates on such health issues, follow Hindi News sources for timely information.
