As seasonal changes bring cold, flu, and viral infections, Dr Vakeel Ahmad, MD (Medicine), a Senior Physician at SRMS Goodlife Hospital, Bareilly emphasises early care and simple remedies.

“Symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, and fatigue are common,” he says. “These are often caused by viral infections that spread through air or contact.”

Ensuring your health is in good hands, Dr Ahmad recommends a light line of treatment, focusing on rest, hydration, and a nutritious diet to boost immunity. “Most seasonal illnesses resolve with supportive care,” he explains. “Overusing antibiotics can be harmful, so they should only be taken if prescribed. Stay hydrated, eat well, and give your body the rest in needs. However, with timely consultation & proper care, recovery is swift.”
