Hospitals see rush as monsoon gives rise to viral fever cases
1 2 Bhubaneswar: Hospitals and clinics are witnessing an increased number of patients suffering from viral fever with doctors attributing the cases to the influenza viruses prevalent in the monsoon . People suffering from viral fever experience fever, headache, running nose, cough and body ache. "Initially, I got a headache and then fever. My body pain started on the second day. Later, I got loose motion too. Doctors diagnosed it as viral fever. Many of my friends are also sick," said Animesh Mishra of Patia. Dr Dhananjaya Das, superintendent-in-charge, Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar, said they have seen a 10% rise in viral fever cases during the last few days in their hospital. "If the fever does not subside within 2 to 3 days, people should test themselves for dengue, typhoid, and malaria or other water-borne diseases," he added. Dr Jayanta Panda, professor of medicine, SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, said multiple viruses exist in the atmosphere and people come in contact with these pathogens, including influenza viruses. "During the rainy season and cold climate, viruses get a favourable condition to grow. People with low immunity are prone to viral infections in the rainy season," he added. Panda said people prone to infections can take preventive steps like properly washing hands, using masks while going out, avoiding soaking in the rain for a long time, and avoiding unhygienic food and water. "As soon as infections occur, they should consult a doctor," he added. Dr P N Sahoo, a medicine specialist, said he gets 10 to 15 viral fever patients daily during this rainy season. "People get an allergic cough after a viral infection. It lasts for several days after the fever is gone. People with underlying conditions like diabetes and chronic kidney diseases face difficulties due to viral infections, but normal people recover in seven days with medication," he added. Doctors cautioned people not to take antibiotics without consulting a doctor. They said antibiotics do not help in viral fever. "People should not purchase over-the-counter antibiotics without consulting a doctor. If a doctor prescribes antibiotics, the patients should complete the course as directed by the physician. The consumption of antibiotics should not be left midway," said Dr Das. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
