Mumbai: As the monsoon season draws to a close, Mumbai is witnessing an increased risk of mosquito-borne and water-borne diseases, including dengue, malaria, chikungunya, typhoid, hepatitis A, and acute gastroenteritis. Health experts at Apex Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, are urging citizens to remain vigilant, adopt preventive measures, and seek timely medical attention if symptoms develop.
According to specialists at Apex Group of Hospitals, stagnant water left behind after heavy rainfall provides ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, while contaminated food and drinking water contribute to the spread of water-borne infections. Common warning signs such as high fever, severe headache, body aches, nausea, persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, skin rashes, and extreme weakness should not be ignored, as delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to serious complications.
Dr. Karan Thakkar, Consultant Physician, Apex Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, said, “The post-monsoon period is one of the busiest seasons for infectious diseases. Many patients initially mistake dengue or malaria for a simple viral fever and delay seeking medical care. Early diagnosis through appropriate investigations, adequate hydration, and timely treatment is essential to prevent complications and ensure faster recovery. Prevention is equally important. Eliminating stagnant water, maintaining good personal hygiene, drinking safe water, and protecting against mosquito bites can significantly reduce the risk of these seasonal illnesses.”
Doctors at Apex Group of Hospitals also advise residents to drink only boiled or purified water, avoid unhygienic street food, wash their hands frequently, keep water storage containers covered, wear full-sleeved clothing, and use mosquito repellents, especially during the early morning and evening hours when mosquito activity is highest. Weekly inspections of homes and surrounding areas to eliminate stagnant water remain among the most effective preventive measures.
With seasonal infections expected to rise over the coming weeks, Apex Group of Hospitals encourages Mumbaikars not to ignore early symptoms and to consult a qualified physician promptly. Timely diagnosis, preventive action, and increased public awareness remain the strongest safeguards against post-monsoon diseases, helping protect families and communities across the city.
