Surge of Patients in Ghazipur Hospitals
The changing weather patterns in Ghazipur district have significantly impacted public health, leading to a massive rush of patients in both government and private hospitals. With chilly mornings and warm afternoons, viral infections have spread rapidly. The outpatient departments (OPDs) are witnessing over 300 children and elderly patients daily, complaining of cold, fever, cough, and vomiting.
Rising Cases of Viral Fever and Seasonal Flu
Every household in Ghazipur seems to have someone suffering from viral fever or common cold. Health experts note that fluctuating temperatures weaken the immune system, making individuals prone to viral attacks. Doctors advise against self-medication and urge people to consult qualified medical professionals if fever persists for more than three days.
Advisory for Children and the Elderly
Senior medical officers emphasize proper diet, hygiene, and precautions during seasonal transitions. Children and senior citizens, having weaker immunity, need extra care. Staying hydrated, consuming fresh home-cooked food, and avoiding cold items can significantly reduce the risk of contracting these seasonal illnesses.
