Dr. Pavan Dhoble of P.D. Hinduja Hospital warns that increased humidity during the monsoon accelerates bacterial growth, raising risks of typhoid, cholera, and gastroenteritis.
Health experts recommend drinking only boiled or purified water and refrigerating leftovers within two hours to prevent food and water contamination.
Patients are advised to seek medical attention for persistent symptoms including severe abdominal pain, high fever, or vomiting to avoid complications like dehydration.
