 It has started to snow. Winter has come! Date molasses, juice, pita, patterned clothes, sheets and are mixed with many other things. But are they all good and good? Not at all! Winter means from minor diseases like cold, and fever, and cold to major diseases like pneumonia. But today I will tell about some diseases which are not so many but many people suffer from these complications in winter. Let's know the names of those diseases and their solutions.

Ear Infection

A variety of ear infections can occur throughout the year. However, this problem can become very serious in winter. Usually, bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae cause inflammation of the ear, leading to fluid accumulation in the middle ear. It can also be caused by cold in winter, smoking, sinus infection, or change in weather.

Symptoms: During this infection, the affected person may experience severe pain in the ear. Unheard-of things can also happen.

Solution

You can get rid of ear infections very easily. That's why you-

1. Ears should be cleaned thoroughly every day. For this, washing the ear with water and wiping it with a cotton bud can be very effective.
2. Dry the ears thoroughly after bathing or swimming.
3. Avoid smoking.
4. If you have any vaccinations, make sure they are up to date.
5. If allergies are the cause of your ear infection, be aware of these allergies and take medication regularly.
6. Cleanliness should be maintained as a daily routine.
7. And once an ear infection occurs, antibiotics should be taken. The doctor will also give you medicine for pain.

Norovirus

Norovirus outbreaks increase in the winter, although it is likely to occur at other times of the year. A person may experience diarrhea, nausea, etc. when attacked by norovirus.

Symptoms: The earliest symptoms of norovirus are nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, etc. May be accompanied by mild body tremors.

Solution:

No vaccine has yet been discovered to prevent this virus. But to stay away from the virus itself-

1. Keep hands clean and observe oral hygiene;
2. Consume well-cooked food; And
3. Clean the floor regularly.

If norovirus does occur, it will clear up after a few days. But during this time the doctor may advise you to take some diarrhea medicines to stay healthy.

Strep throat:

Strep throat is caused by Streptococcus bacteria. This disease affects both throat and tonsils at the same time. It is more common in 5-15-year-olds due to cold-related reasons. Therefore, children especially at this time need extra care to avoid infection.

Symptoms: If you have strep throat, you will first feel a very sharp pain in the throat. May be accompanied by fever, headache, chills, nausea, etc.

Solution:

In treating strep throat, keep in mind that:

1. Hot water is drunk in winter.
2. Drinking enough water
3. Wash your hands regularly.
4. Gargle with water regularly, and
5. Adequate rest is taken.

If you have strep throat, you may be given antibiotics. Doctors may also suggest medication for fever and pain.

Cold Agglutinin Disease:

CAD or Cold Agglutinin Disease affects a person's immune system. This causes the red blood cells to be destroyed very quickly. Although the condition is brought on by cold, its effects can range from dizziness to heart attacks. Cold agglutinin is rare in about 1 in 300,000 people.

Symptoms: Dizziness, headache, leg-back and bone junction pain, yellowish or whitish skin, nausea, chest pain, cold hands, and feet, ringing in the ears, etc. may occur in these patients.

Solution:

The exact type of treatment you need depends on your condition. It can be directly caused by CAD, or it can also be a result of another problem. If it is confirmed that this problem has arisen due to some reason, the doctor can try medicines, blood filtering, etc.

Ichthyosis:

Ichthyosis Vulgaris is a complete skin disease. In this case, the affected person's skin becomes like fish scales. Basically, the dead skin accumulates a lot and creates a texture on the skin, which increases in winter.

Although many people only have hands or feet, many people can also see this disease in other parts of the body including the stomach, back, and arms.

Symptoms

1. scaly skin
2. itching
3. Fish-shaped skin
4. dry skin
5. thick skin

There are several home remedies that you can try to get rid of ichthyosis. Olive oil can work quite well for this. But you can also use lactic acid or retinoids according to the doctor's advice.

When winter comes, not only the above diseases but also various other physical problems appear. To prevent all these problems to some extent, try to follow the following points:

1. Many people give up exercise in the cold and early days of winter. In that case, many new diseases appear. The body becomes weak in immunity. So definitely refrain from giving up exercise in winter. Maintain a walking habit even if you don't do too much heavy exercise.

2. To keep any disease away, doctors advise developing the habit of washing hands frequently. This habit will keep you away from many problems in winter.

3. Take some amount of vitamin C daily with and without food. Your body will then be able to fight the disease more powerfully.

Winter, summer, or any season has its positive, joyful side. But none of these can be enjoyed if you are not healthy. So follow some simple rules to stay healthy this winter and stay well throughout the winter.
