The season Spring has already comes in nature. Between the end of winter and the beginning of summer, our body has to adapt to the change in weather.  While the adults can do it easily, children can't. That's why someone gets a cold or some other illness. Viral fever is one of the very common problem. Symptoms of runny nose, body aches and fever are there.  Sometimes vomiting and loose stools also occur. It is mainly treated according to the symptoms. If you infect by viral fever, you must drink plenty of fluids. If the fever is high, soak the cloth in lukewarm water and wipe the body. Take medicine if necessary.  Children should also be given paracetamol according to weight.  Care must be taken whether the activity of urine is going properly or not. If vomiting, you can try to feed little by little. If get more sick, other causes of fever should be sought. Dengue fever or corona infection also occurs with similar symptoms. In spring, the dust flies in the air, and the molecules of the flowers also move in the wind. So the possibility of getting asthma increases. Skin allergies can also occur.  It is important to keep children away from dust. Use mask if necessary. Spring is also a very good time to anyone occurring diseases. A fever usually precedes the rash in case of cold sores. The body feels very tired. After six-seven days the rash starts to dry.  At this time, a lot of liquids should be consumed. Medication may be needed for itching. Medicines for pain and fever may also be needed. Cotton, loose clothing should be worn.  Bathing in clean water is not prohibited, but it is better to limit the use of soap and shampoo. It is better not to apply daily lotion or powder at this time.  Isolation or quarantine is required for at least six days after the fever (until all rashes have dried). You have to drink safe water. For cooking, you can also use safe water. 

Waterborne diseases are spreading in the flood-hit regions of Bangladesh as floodwater started receding.   “Many people are suffering from diarrhoea, skin diseases, dysentery, cholera and other waterborne diseases,” Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) sources said. In the past 24 hours, a total of 452 people have been affected by diarrhoea in four flood hit divisions --  Sylhet, Rangpur, Chattagram and Mymensingh -- while 53 people have also suffered from skin diseases, a press release issued by the DGHS said.      To provide healthcare supports to the flood affected regions of the country, as many as 2,050 medical teams have been working since beginning of the flood, it added.  Officials said people of the flood affected areas in Bangladesh are returning back home as flood situation is improving continuously.   "Flood in northeastern and northern region is improving gradually as both Bangladesh and upstream regions of India witnessed less rainfall in the past three days," Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) spokesman Md Arifuzzaman Bhuyan told BSS.  "Country's major rivers are flowing below danger levels at their most monitoring stations....meaning flood situation is in improving trend," he added. The situation is worst since the 2004 flooding, Bhuiyan, an FFWC executive engineer, said heavy downpours inside Bangladesh and upstream region of India triggered devastating flood in Bramaputra and Meghna basins.  Monsoon rains and gushing waters from upstream India worsened Bangladesh flood situation with experts calling it the worst since 2004 while millions of people have been affected by the deluge, the FFWC official said. Northeastern and northern parts of Bangladesh may witness prolonged flood as record breaking rainfalls were recorded inside Bangladesh and upstream states of India during the ongoing flood.   "We have seen that both Bangladesh and upstream states of Meghalaya and Assam and western Himalayan regions of India recorded heavy rainfall, the highest over 100 years," Professor Md Mansur Rahman of Institute of Water and Flood Management of BUET said.  Major rivers and their tributaries of Bangladesh have no capacity to contain such huge volume of rains, which ultimately has caused massive flooding in northeastern and northern regions of the country, he added.  Mansur said there is a huge gap between Bangladesh and upstream regions of India in terms of elevation from sea level. "So, onrush of water enters Bangladesh with a faster pace, which inundated vast areas of the country in a shorter time," he added.  The hydrologist said a large number of embankments have been built in both Bangladesh and Indian regions to control flow of water of major rivers, which are the main reasons for increasing frequency of flooding.  The ongoing flood in Meghna basin may prolong as "the only exit point of flood water is Bhairab at the Megna river will take much time to pass such huge volume of flood water into the Bay of Bangal... meaning flood in northeastern region is likely to be prolonged, if the heavy downpour continue."  Water levels at 15 river stations monitored by Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have marked rise while 91 stations recorded fall. Among the 109 monitored stations, three river stations have been registered steady while water levels at seven stations are flowing above the danger level, a bulletin issued by the FFWC said here today. The Surma at Kanaighat, the Kushiyara at Amalshid and Sheola, the Old Surma at Derai, the Baulai at Khaliajuri, the Someswari at Kalmakanda and the Titas at Brahmanbaria are flowing above danger level by 75cm, 169cm, 60cm, 30cm, 17cm, 39cm and 25cm respectively.   All the major rivers in the country are in falling trend,  the FFWC bulletin added.    The Brahmaputa-Jamuna, Ganges-Padma and all the major river of the north- eastern region of the country may continue falling in the next 48 hours, while the Dharala and Dudhkumar rivers of northern Bangladesh may continue falling in next 24 hours, it added.   In the next 48-72 hours, there is a chance of heavy rainfall at places of the Sub- Himalayan West-Bengal (Jalpaiguri, Sikkim). As a result, the water level of Teesta river may rise and close to danger level at Dalia Point.   Flood situation in the Sylhet, Sunamganj, Netrokona, Kishoreganj and Brahmanbaria districts may continue improving in next 24 hours, the FFWC bulletin said, adding, there is chance of short duration flood in the low-lying areas of Shariatpur and Madaripur districts in next 24 hours.  Source: BSS AH
