The rains in Telangana over the last fortnight require people to stay alert for seasonal ailments.
Doctors warn that seasonal ailments can spread rapidly during the monsoon if proper preventive steps are not taken in time.
According to Dr. MD Fawad Ali, consultant physician at the Princess Durru Shehvar Children’s and General Hospital in Purani Haveli, the number of seasonal ailment cases is lower compared to the previous year. However, he cautions that people still need to take all necessary preventive steps.
“During the rainy season, there is a higher risk of spreading seasonal ailments such as chikungunya, dengue, and malaria. People must stay safe and keep their surroundings clean. Doctors should be consulted if a fever continues for a long time,” he said.
