The rainy season causes many diseases due to high humidity and moisture. In such a situation, it is important that we pay special attention to the care of our body, especially the 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. Due to high humidity, polluted water, and moisture, there is a high risk of bacterial and viral infections. Problems like irritation, redness, itching, and infection can occur in the eyes. Apart from this, 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 irritation or infection in the eyes, wash the eyes immediately with clean water.

- Wash your hands thoroughly and avoid touching the eyes.

- Consult a doctor before using any type 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 the 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 moisture of the skin remains.

- You can use anti-fungal powder or cream, especially on those areas which are more affected by sweat.

3. Risk of cold, cough and flu

Problems like colds, 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 infection.

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 things rich in vitamin C like lemon, orange and amla.

- If symptoms of cold and cough appear, immediately consume home remedies like basil, ginger and honey.
