Stay alert to these diseases while avoiding corona infection in summer, carelessness may be overshadowed
In the past, people came out of their homes less. When the movement of vehicles decreased, the level of pollution also decreased, due to which many diseases were seen less than other years. On the other hand, excessive use of sanitizer and frequent masks increased skin diseases and other problems. Now in Unlock-1, doctors advise that you should be alert to other diseases while avoiding corona infection in summer. Learn what is said by Dr. Simmi Dubey , Head of Department of Medicine, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal .
What is Loo: During the summer season, warm and dry winds running from north-east and west to east during May-June are called Loo. Some places are also called hot air.
Abdominal diseases reduced: Due to lockdown, not eating outside food, this year there were less cases of stomach diseases in summer. Although the temperature is fluctuating. The risk of stomach diseases and sunburn due to heat is same as before. In such a situation, people need to take special precautions.

This is how heat affects us : When we go under normal temperature in strong sunlight, due to lack of water in the body, many problems including stiffness of the feet start. This condition is called heat cramps. The second stage is that of heat exhaust. There is a lot of lack of water in the body. There is too much fatigue and body pain. The third stage is of ‘heat stroke’. The only way to avoid all three types of problems is to consume enough water in one form or the other.
Clean water is a big necessity: These days the availability of clean water decreases. People do not see if the water is clean when they are thirsty and drink it immediately. It also causes many diseases. These include acute bacterial gastroenteritis, typhoid, jaundice. In such a situation, drink clean water and if possible, boil water and then cool it.
Stay away from outside things: Now permission has been given to open restaurants, malls and hotels, but do not show curiosity in eating outside. Food poisoning is very common during summer. Sometimes it takes a dangerous form. The things kept in the fridge are kept in the fridge again after eating and it is believed that the food stored in it does not go bad, but keeping it outside for some time starts spoiling it. Also keep in mind the temperature of the fridge. It is decided by this that things kept in it are not spoiled.
