Monsoon health: five things to watch for
Seasonal fevers, water-borne illness and when to see a doctor.
Every year around this time we see the same questions in our clinics. This short guide covers what is usually harmless, what deserves a call, and what should not wait.
When to seek care the same day
- Fever above 39°C that will not settle
- Breathlessness or chest tightness
- Reduced urine output or persistent vomiting
If you are unsure, our 24×7 helpline can talk it through and, if needed, arrange a same-day appointment.
