Health Experts Report Increase in Stomach Infections Amid Rising Temperatures

Rising temperatures across Indian cities have led to an increase in stomach infections and digestive issues such as diarrhoea, nausea, and indigestion. Health experts link this trend to heat-induced dehydration, weakened immunity, and consumption of contaminated food and water. Vulnerable groups, including older adults, face risks like electrolyte imbalance and anorectal problems. Doctors advise maintaining hydration, practicing good hygiene, and seeking medical care for persistent symptoms to prevent complications during heatwaves.
