There is a risk of contracting various diseases during the rainy season. These include cholera, typhoid, inflammatory liver A (hepatitis A), diarrhea, and diseases caused by mosquitoes and contaminated water. In addition, getting wet in the rain can cause coughs, colds, flu, asthma, and allergies.
- The most caring thing to do in this season is to eat and drink.
- First of all, pay more attention to the cleanliness of the house, especially the kitchen.
- Wash utensils thoroughly with soap before using them.
- Keep food and drink covered.
- Eating meat in the rainy season can be harmful.
- Lightly digestible foods should be eaten instead of high-fat and spicy foods.
- Market foods should be avoided.
In the rainy season, vinegar, lemon, and curry syrup should be drunk. It is useful to add green chilies and onions in vinegar. Water should be boiled and drunk. Hands should be washed thoroughly with soap before eating. Vegetables and fruits should be eaten thoroughly.
Take more care of children in the rainy season. Children suffer from diarrhea due to malnutrition. Children with diarrhea should be given ORS because they are dehydrated.
There are many benefits to feeding ORS, as ORS contains glucose, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, and potassium chloride, which compensates for the lack of chemicals and helps children recover faster.
