Spike in Children with Flu-Like Symptoms in Pune: Learn Safety Tips
The spread of diseases has surged since the onset of monsoon in Pune, with a noticeable rise in children presenting symptoms of flu, fever, chills, vomiting, and diarrhea.
In addition to flu, the risk of dengue in children has also escalated. Parents are advised to seek immediate medical attention if their children develop symptoms such as fever and rash. Proper medication should be administered as per the doctor’s advice. Due to the rapid spread of diseases, children should not be sent to school if they fall ill, as this can lead to further infections.
Dengue symptoms are generally mild in adults, often presenting with no symptoms at all. However, dengue poses a significant risk to newborns, potentially leading to severe complications such as dengue shock syndrome, which can cause excessive bleeding and organ damage.
Children are more susceptible to the flu during the rainy season. Therefore, it is recommended that children aged 1 to 10 years receive the influenza vaccine annually before the rainy season begins. This vaccination helps build immunity in children and prevents them from contracting the flu.
With the increase in epidemics since the onset of the monsoon, it is crucial to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect children’s health.
