Weather Change Increases Risk of Infections in Children Post-Monsoon
IN · Published Sep 23, 2026
Doctors in India are reporting a rise in infections among children during and after the monsoon season.
Common illnesses include dengue, hepatitis A, and influenza, all of which can present with fever as an initial symptom.

Impact & Risks

Children are particularly vulnerable to infections during the monsoon season due to their developing immune systems. Dengue can lead to severe complications like haemorrhagic fever, while hepatitis A may cause liver issues, and influenza can result in respiratory problems. Delayed diagnosis or treatment can exacerbate these risks, making early medical intervention crucial.
