Be cautious in eating and drinking

In monsoon, the risk of illness increases due to water contamination and lack of cleanliness around. In such a situation, if drinking water and food are also unhygienic, then it is natural for you to get stomach infection and fall ill.

Unhygienic food causes stomach-related illnesses.

Get water from a clean and safe source

Due to contaminated water, many problems like stomach upset, intestinal infection, diarrhea are seen more these days. Therefore, it is important to be more careful while taking water from an unknown source or from a roadside vendor. Use only clean water from home.

It is important to avoid mosquitoes

During the rainy season, one needs to be very cautious about mosquito-borne diseases. Especially when the rains stop, the mosquito menace increases. There are three types of problems in this, dengue, malaria and chikungunya caused by mosquito bites. If malaria is identified on time, then the right treatment is done. But, the problem in dengue can be serious. Many times, it leads to admission in ICU. In case of chikungunya infection, joint pain persists for weeks and months.
