BENGALURU: The upward thrust in mercury levels, now hovering round 33 levels Celsius, has ended in a spurt in viral infections.
Fluctuations within the weather - cold mornings, hot afternoons and evenings with a cold, dry breeze - have led to bout of viral infections, mentioned Dr Saad Hafeez Uman, specialist, interior drugs, Columbia Asia Hospital in Whitefield.
"We are seeing 7-10 cases of viral fever associated with respiratory track infections every day. These infections are contagious and can spread when an affected person coughs. Maintaining distance and personal hygiene are essential," he provides.
"March-April being exam season, parents and teachers need to be more cautious about their children falling sick. There is a rise in cases of tonsillitis through bacterial infection," mentioned Dr S M Prasad, city-based peadiatrician from Hebbal. Patients must stay house to keep away from spreading infection.
"These viral fever cases are seasonal. Patients must drink plenty of water and be well-hydrated," mentioned Dr Kaveri Chinnappa, common doctor from Viveknagar.
Doctors, if truth be told, cautioned that eating raw food from outdoor should be avoided to prevent infections.
