The rainy season brings refreshing showers, cooler weather, and lush greenery across Zirakpur, Mohali, and Chandigarh. However, along with the beauty of the monsoon comes a rise in seasonal illnesses that can affect people of all ages. At R. K. Hospital Dhakoli, our team is prepared to help you and your family stay safe, healthy, and active during this time of year.
Why the Rainy Season Affects Your Health
The combination of humidity, stagnant water, and sudden temperature changes creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, and mosquitoes. Common health problems during monsoon include:
- Viral fevers and flu
- Dengue, malaria, and chikungunya
- Waterborne infections like typhoid and cholera
- Respiratory issues such as asthma flare-ups
- Skin and fungal infections
For patients with diabetes or heart conditions, seasonal infections can be especially risky, as they may weaken the immune system and increase recovery time.

Preventive Health Tips from Our Experts
Dr. R. M. Raj, our leading physician (MBBS, MD, PhD in Diabetes Management), advises taking simple steps to avoid health issues this season:
- Drink only clean, filtered, or boiled water to prevent waterborne diseases.
- Avoid street food and consume freshly cooked meals at home.
- Use mosquito repellents and nets to protect against vector-borne illnesses.
- Keep surroundings dry and clean to reduce breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
- Boost your immunity with a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
Special Attention for Chronic Patients
For individuals managing diabetes, it’s important to monitor blood sugar closely during monsoon, as infections can cause fluctuations.
