The monsoon season can make your health problems worse because it is known to lower immunity and increase the risk of getting sick or infected. According to studies, the monsoon’s humid weather and temperature swings greatly increase one’s risk of contracting microbial diseases. This year, there was an abundance of rain in several areas of the nation, which has led to an increase in viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. In recent months, viral infections such as dengue, malaria, influenza, the common cold, hepatitis, and conjunctivitis have been rapidly spreading.
Viral fevers are frequently more common during the monsoon season due to increased viral activity. When precautions are taken, the following viral diseases that are common during the monsoon season can be easily avoided:
- Dengue virus
Dengue, which is spread by mosquitoes, can result in a high fever, excruciating bodily aches, and even potentially fatal consequences. The symptoms of dengue fever, which is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, include a rapid start of high fever, severe joint and muscular pain, headache, and a rash. In extreme circumstances, it might develop into dengue shock syndrome or dengue haemorrhagic fever, which can result in bleeding, organ damage, and even death.
2. Malaria
Another illness spread by mosquitoes that causes fever, chills, and bodily aches is malaria. An effective mosquito defense is essential. Wearing clothing with long sleeves that totally enclose the body is essential, and controlling mosquito breeding should also be done.
3. Chikungunya
Chikungunya, which is also spread by Aedes mosquitoes, results in fever, joint discomfort, muscle pain, headache, and rash. Even though fatalities are uncommon, joint pain that lasts for months can be extremely incapacitating and lower quality of life.
4. Flu or influenza
Flu viruses thrive in wet conditions. Fever, cough, tiredness, and body aches are among the symptoms. A crucial preventive measure is vaccination. It can cause pneumonia and other respiratory problems, especially in people that are already at risk.
5. Cold and flu
Colds, which are brought on by different viruses, cause runny noses, coughs, sneezes, and minor fevers. It can be avoided by being clean and avoiding close touch.
6. Virus-Associated Gastritis
It also goes by the name “stomach flu” and results in nausea, diarrhea, and pain in the abdomen. Water intake should be maintained. The majority of instances of acute viral gastroenteritis (loose movements and vomiting) are caused by a number of different viruses, including rotavirus, norovirus, and adenovirus. The majority of cases are transmitted orally via the faecal route, which also involves contaminated food and water.
7. The illness Hand, Foot, and Mouth
This viral infection, which primarily affects youngsters, results in sores on the hands, feet, and mouth. In crowded areas, it spreads quickly.
8. Hepatitis A and E
The main ways that these viral diseases are transmitted are through tainted food and drink. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort, queasyness, and retching are among the symptoms. Hepatitis A and E typically go away on their own, although they can occasionally be very serious illnesses.
9. Infected Eyes (Viral Conjunctivitis)
Adenovirus is typically the culprit behind the very contagious viral conjunctivitis. Eye irritability, photophobia, and watery discharge are symptoms. Avoid wearing contact lenses and maintain proper eye hygiene. In mild cases, viral conjunctivitis resolves on its own; in severe cases, it can continue up to three weeks. Apply cool compresses for symptom alleviation.
10. Chickenpox
The extremely contagious infection known as chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). An itchy, blister-like rash is one of the additional symptoms. Before covering the full body, the rash first appears on the chest, back, and face.
