With the city experiencing fluctuating temperatures, cases of swine flu, fever, cold and flu have seen a spurt in recent days. Doctors from various hospitals said that the sudden rise and fall in the temperature has led to a sharp rise in viral and bacterial infections. Although the rise in cases is not alarming, doctors are still warning parents to be alert about their children’s health.

Doctors claim that the unsteady temperatures affect the health of children the most, and increase their susceptibility to a wide array of communicable and infectious diseases, adversely affecting their health.
