Health First

With a couple of infections in the air and the difficulty in adjusting to the change of climate, we thought of issuing a note consisting of some basic preventive measures so as to protect ourselves from an onslaught of some of the usual diseases on the campus. Here it goes:

Throat Infection

Try drinking warm water and avoiding cold water completely.
Gargle with turmeric powder and salt put in hot water.
Avoid cold drinks, spicy and oily food and eat more of fruits and green and yellow vegetables.

Infections spreading through Mosquito’s

Make sure that you use the Mosquito Nets provided while sleeping.
Take the preventive dose for malaria regularly.
Avoid going close to mosquito prone areas and even places on the campus where water has accumulated.

Typhoid

Avoid outside food, very spicy and oily food.
Wash your hands with soap before and after each meal.

Eye Infections and Red Eyes

Wash eyes with cold water three to four times each day.
In case of any burning or itching sensation or the watering of eyes, contact the helpdesk immediately.
Avoid sharing of towels and toilet articles.
Minimize hand to eye contact.

General Fitness and Cleanliness

Drink lots of juice and water. Eat fresh fruits and avoid spicy and oily food.
Take sleep for at least five to six hours in a day.
In case of allergy to dust, use a mask or avoid dust prone areas on the campus, specially going close to construction sites.
Keep your rooms, bathrooms and apartments as clean and tidy as possible.
Exercise for at least 15 minutes each day.
