Bhopal: The Health department has appealed to the people of the state not to ignore the cold and cough, sore throat, headaches, breathlessness during fever. Consult doctor immediately at the government hospitals and get the tests done. Do not waste time in domestic remedies at home. Sometimes the infection becomes so severe in absence of proper medical treatment that it becomes impossible for the doctors to handle the case.

What to Do and What Not to Do
Use handkerchief and tissue paper in case of cold and cough, Dispose of tissue paper in the dustbin. Always keep one meter distance from the patient. Patients should take care that they should touch mouth by hands at the time meals only and should not shake hands with others. Wash hands with soap in case of contact of hands with nose, mouth or eyes and avoid going to public places.
Use salt and luke warm water or listerine for gargling. Consume hot liquid substances in maximum. Consume balanced and nutritious food and consume vitamin C like lemon, amla, oranges etc. Keep in mind that zinc is included in it if you take Vitamin C tablets.

The mosquito of the dengue grows in clean water and bites in the day. So keep your home and surrounding areas cleaned. Do not keep water in coolers, tyres, utensils and pots etc. for a long time. Always wear full sleeves clothes. Where water drainage is not possible, pour a spoonful of mustard oil. The larvae will not grow due to the formation of oil layer over water. Consume more fluids.-WTN
