Caution is Essential to Stay Healthy During the Changing Weather

New Delhi (RNI) Renowned physicians across the country have emphasized that caution is essential to stay healthy during the changing weather. This season often worsens health issues for people suffering from cold, cough, flu, fever, sore throat, redness in the eyes, red spots on the face, as well as chronic conditions such as COVID-19, asthma, diabetes, kidney, liver, and cancer.

Experts advise that to prevent such health problems, one should avoid an uncontrolled lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, pollution, and crowded areas. Covering the face with a cloth while going out and ensuring no waterlogging around the house are crucial to prevent mosquito-borne diseases.

Dr. Girjesh Rastogi, Head of Vasundhara Hospital and a renowned physician, says, “Many precautions need to be taken during the changing weather. If colds, flu, or sore throats persist for more than three days, medication should be taken under medical supervision. Patients suffering from illnesses such as COVID-19, asthma, diabetes, kidney, liver, and cancer need to be especially cautious.”

Skin expert Dr. Poonam Arya adds that changing weather increases the risk of redness and itching on the skin, causing discomfort. “The scorching sun immediately after rain can worsen these problems. Therefore, people should fully cover their bodies and use appropriate creams when going out,” she advised.

Dr. M. Bora, CMO of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), highlights that vigilance is crucial to combat weather-related problems. He advises that water should not be allowed to accumulate near homes, and appliances like coolers should be cleaned regularly. “Bleaching powder should be sprayed near garbage disposal sites. While these problems are not widespread in the NDMC area, similar arrangements should be implemented in other parts of the capital,” he added. L.S.
