The end of Indian summers signals, to everyone’s delight, the onset of monsoon in the country. Rain is synonymous to Chai and Pakora, children’s laughter over a rain drenched football game or the long drive amidst comparatively greener landscape. Along with beautiful moments, rain also brings many diseases that can be very serious if not treated timely. Top health insurance plan must be choosen for this. Some of the most common rainy season diseases are mentioned below.
Influenza
It is commonly known as flu. It is caused by the Influenza virus, which is highly infectious. Common symptoms of influenza include fever, muscle pain, headache, and coughing. Influenza virus becomes very active during monsoon because of the varying temperature in short intervals. Hence the chances of getting influenza are high during the rainy season.
Dengue
Dengue is one of the deadliest monsoon diseases that is caused by mosquitoes. Generally, the number of mosquitoes increases rapidly during the rainy season because the rainwater causes many dormant eggs to hatch suddenly. The treatment of dengue is quite costly and many people even avail the facility of Monsoon Health Cover to get a short term life insurance for such diseases.
Typhoid
Typhoid is another common disease during monsoon. Symptoms include high fever, lethargy, headache, body pain and many more like them. It is caused due to consumption of contaminated food and water. Washing vegetables and fruits with contaminated water can also lead to typhoid.
Monsoon health cover is becoming a basic necessity especially for the masses who can’t afford the high cost of treatment that comes with the disease. You can avail this small term health cover in any insurance company by paying a nominal premium amount which is nothing in comparison to your health.
