Many people tend to fall sick due to seasonal changes. As such, understanding the causes behind such illnesses is the first step to preventing them.

As Dr S V Prashanthi Raju mentions at 00:33, the most common causes of seasonal diseases are airborne viruses, water-borne infections, contaminated food and mosquitoes.
Among these, malaria, dengue and chikungunya are some of the commonly observed issues among patients. Conversely, typhoid, viral hepatitis, hepatitis A and gastroenteritis are frequently seen as a result of water-based toxins and viruses.

Regarding airborne infections, the common flu, COVID-19 and general respiratory infections are some standard examples.

At 01:36, Dr Raju elaborates on how to prevent seasonal diseases. The most effective ways include wearing a facial mask to protect yourself from air-transmitted viruses, drinking boiled water and avoiding eating food from unhygienic places. Maintaining a clean environment and protecting yourself from mosquitoes through repellents is also necessary.

Quick Fact Check:

Q1: How can eating food from restaurants increase your chance of getting a disease or infection?
A1: While some restaurants do implement strict hygiene standards, others are quite lax in this regard. As such, the food and water in such places can be contaminated, thereby increasing your risk of getting sick. Thus, it’s best to stick to home-cooked meals or only eat at reliable restaurants.
Q2: What can you do to protect yourself from mosquitoes?
A2: It's crucial to maintain a hygienic environment to ensure that there are no breeding grounds for mosquitoes. So, check for any stagnant water sources in and around your house and get rid of them. It’s also advisable that you clean your residence regularly. Insect repellents are also an excellent way to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.

Q4: Do you always have to boil water before drinking it?
A4: It is not necessary to drink boiled water all the time. However, drinking boiled water can reduce the risk of falling sick again if you are recovering from a recent infection or disease. Investing in a good water purifier is the best safeguard in this context.
Q5: How do you know if you have gastroenteritis?
A5: Some of the most common symptoms of gastroenteritis include diarrhoea, abdominal/stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting and low-grade fever. If you have noticed any of the mentioned markers, you should seek treatment from a general physician.
Q6: Do seasonal changes affect the immune system?
A6: Specific weather conditions can affect the immune system. For example, colder temperatures constrict your blood vessels and reduce the number of white blood cells. This can make you more prone to bacterial or respiratory infections.
