SUMMER DIARRHOEA?

It's very common thing we found in many people esp children & old age people.
Many people think that diarrhoea is a problem of monsoon season only but that's not so true.


During summer also due to extreme heat our body functions changes & our digestive functions also changes so gastric disturbance  like indigestion, acidity, vomiting & diarrhoea frequently occurs.


 Another reason for loose watery stools in summer associated with either fever, bodyache, nausea, cold & cough can be due to viral infections.
In India many festivals & weddings people enjoy in summer so that heavy food & irregularity in taking meals is also one of the cause for diarrhoea in medical term we can say food-poisoning , gastro-enteritis.


Another factor that plays major role is that people drink outside nonhygienic cold drinks, water & sharbats that are main source of cholera, typhoid, hepatitis(jaundice) etc.


so after brief view of causative factors it's your responsibility to try to avoid all that.
