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.
