Common diseases in summer you should look out for

Summers are without any hesitation extremely harsh on our bodies and skin. Especially kids, having low immunity face a lot of problems like dehydration and heat strokes. Apart from these, numerous diseases become more active in our body in this ruthless season. However, proper precautions and timely diagnosis will help you make your summers light and playful without any harsh effects on your mind and body.

Here are few common summer diseases that you should be very much careful of:

1. 1. Norovirus: A stomach bug which is transmitted through defiled food or water, or spread through an already affected patient. Norovirus causes extreme stomach irritation among children. Kids encounter loose motions and retching when they get this bug. Maintaining hygiene will keep these infections away.
2. 2. Food Poisoning: Leaving food out of the fridge in the hot environment for extended period invites microbes. Consuming such food is bad. Microorganisms breed in our stomach related tract, leading to food poisoning symptoms like loose bowels, retching/cramping and torment in the stomach, and in some cases, fever too. In summers, the earth is sufficiently muggy for microscopic organisms to multiply which cause food poisoning. Along these lines, it's an intelligent thought to check your food’s temperature and place scraps in the refrigerator where it can stay crisp or simply dispose it. Prevention of food poisoning is very much possible by ensuring your kitchen is 100% clean.

3. Hyperthermia: It is a condition in which the body's temperature is higher than normal. The body's warming and cooling process turns out to be over-run, and when the body can't get rid of extra heat it eventually causes sunstroke symptoms. Hyperthermia is caused by overexertion or too much heat exposure. Such type of heat stroke can be avoided by staying cool and increasing optimum liquid consumption.

4. Coxsackie infection: This infection gets more active in summers bringing about hands, feet and mouth sickness among youngsters. This is usually seen in kids less than ten years of age. Symptoms include fever, oral ulcers, sore throat, low appetite and rashes on the hands and feet. Coxsackie virus spreads from individual-to-individual through mucous, salivation and excrement. Saltwater wash daily takes away the soreness in the mouth. Eating cool foods like frozen yogurt can relax sore throats. Ensure your kids are hydrated enough.

Few easy steps taken during summers could help one stay safe from sunstroke and dehydration symptoms. If you still are pondering on the easiest way on how to prevent from dehydration, simply multiply your fluid intake; drink plenty of water, wear light colored and loose fitting clothes. This should surely help summers be not as deadly as they seem.
