Doctors Advise Caution as Monsoon Transition Raises Common Illness Risk

As the season shifts from summer into monsoon, doctors are cautioning that the body’s immune response can weaken during the transition, making colds, fevers, and digestive complaints more common. Sharp swings in temperature and humidity require time for the body to adjust, physicians note.

Doctors recommend drinking plenty of water, favouring fresh and warm food, avoiding street-cut fruit, and getting adequate sleep during this period. They advise seeking medical attention if symptoms persist beyond three days or are accompanied by severe body aches.
