Due to the changing weather every day , the number of viral fever patients in Delhi-NCR is also increasing rapidly. Not only this, once viral, fever is not healing quickly and is bothering patients for a long time. According to the doctors, in the last one week, the number of patients coming to the hospital with fever, throat pain, cough and cold, which are common symptoms of viral has increased. According to Romaal Tikku, Senior Consultant Doctor at Max Hospital, Saket, Delhi, every third patient coming to OPD is in the grip of viral fever.
Influenza A virus is powerful,
however, usually the viral disease caused by the changing season is cured on its own in a few days. But according to doctors, many patients are saying that the fever is not cured for more than 3-4 days. When asked about this, Dr. Arup Basu, Senior Consultant, Department of Chest Medicine, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, says fever, throat pain and other viral symptoms are caused by not one but more than one virus. It is more likely that this time viral is due to influenza A virus. This virus is very serious, severe and effective. Because of this virus, fever in patients is not curing quickly and remains for a long time.
Children, elderly, patients should be more vigilant.
According to doctor Arup, children, elderly and patients with diabetes and heart need to be very careful. This virus enters the human body in two ways – one is through air and the other due to consuming food or water infected with the virus. Many types of infections related to common cold, flu and breath are spread by air. Whenever an infected person coughs or pimples, viruses spread in the air and when a person takes that infected air inside the body through breath, it also gets infected.
There is a change in the weather, the biggest reason is to avoid getting sick, then take full care of the cleanliness of the hands and stay away from such people who are kept viral. Dr. RK Singhal, Director of Internal Medicine, BLK Super Specialty Hospital, says, “If a person has fever and sore throat for more than 48 hours, a doctor should be contacted immediately.” The changes in the weather, the difference in day and night temperatures – all of them cause rapid growth of viruses and bacteria, which causes allergies and respiratory diseases. Air pollution spread in Delhi-NCR also acts to worsen the viral disease.
