Mumbai sees usual rise in flu cases with monsoon arrival

As the monsoon hits Mumbai, the city is witnessing an increase in viral flu cases, particularly dengue and swine flu.

Healthcare professionals are raising concerns about the increasing number of patients coming to the hospitals with symptoms like high-grade fever and severe throat pain.

The doctors cautioned citizens to take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of these seasonal infections.

Due to abrupt changes in temperature and increased humidity, the monsoon season provides a conducive environment for the viruses to multiply rapidly.

Doctors specified that while swine flu is expected to last for at least a month more, dengue cases might last for up to three months.
