Due to changing weather conditions, the capital is experiencing a surge in viral fever cases. Almost every household seems to have been affected, with patients conditions deteriorating within just a day or two. Alarmingly, platelet counts are rapidly decreasing, yet tests are returning negative results for dengue. This viral fever is also impacting the liver, kidneys, and brain.

Patients are lining up at various hospitals, both government and private, including SMS Hospital, JK Lone, RUHS, and Kanwatiya Hospital. The increase in seasonal illnesses is causing concern among healthcare professionals.

Measures to Prevent Illness

To help prevent illness, doctors recommend wearing full-sleeve clothing and avoiding cold beverages. They also suggest limiting the use of air conditioners and coolers, as well as wearing masks in crowded places.

Maintaining a healthy diet is crucial. People are encouraged to drink enough water and consume green leafy vegetables. Consulting a doctor immediately upon noticing symptoms is essential, and medications should not be taken without consultation.

Additionally, ensuring there is no water stagnation at home and in surrounding areas is vital for maintaining cleanliness. Eating fresh fruits can also help boost immunity during this critical time.
