While the rainy season brings relief and comfort on one hand, it also brings many health problems. Along with common symptoms like cold, cough, flu, eyes and skin can also get damaged in this season.
Many types of diseases occur due to humidity and moisture during the rainy season. In such a situation, it is important that we pay special attention to the care of our body, especially eyes and skin. Let us know what kind of problems can occur in this season and how we can avoid them.
1. Eye problems
The risk of eye diseases increases during the rainy season. Humidity, polluted water and high humidity increase the risk of bacterial and viral infections. Problems like irritation, redness, itching and infection can occur in the eyes. In addition, rainwater is often dirty, which further increases the risk of eye infections.
Preventive measures:
– Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes when going out in the rain.
– If you feel any irritation or infection in the eyes, wash your eyes immediately with clean water.
– Wash your hands thoroughly and avoid touching your eyes.
– Consult a doctor before using any kind of medicine or drops in the eyes.
2. Skin problems
Skin problems also become quite common during the rainy season. Due to humidity, problems like fungal infection, eczema and itching can occur on the skin. Apart from this, dirt and bacteria can cause pimples and allergies on the skin. The pollutants present in rain water take away the moisture of the skin, due to which the skin becomes dry and lifeless.
Preventive measures
– Always wear light and cotton clothes in this season so that the skin gets a chance to breathe.
– Avoid wearing wet clothes, this can increase the risk of fungal infection on the skin.
– Keep the skin clean and dry immediately after getting wet in the rain.
– Use moisturizer after bathing so that the skin remains moisturized.
– You can use anti-fungal powder or cream, especially on areas that are more affected by sweat.
3. Risk of cold, cough and flu
Problems like cold, cough and flu become common during the rainy season. Due to constantly changing weather and cold winds, the body's immune system can become weak, which increases the risk of viral infections.
Preventive measures
– Keep the body warm and dry. Avoid getting wet in the rain and change clothes immediately.
– Eat healthy and nutritious food to strengthen immunity.
– Consume foods rich in vitamin C like lemon, orange and amla.
– If you notice symptoms of cold and cough, immediately consume home remedies like basil, ginger and honey.
