Monsoon Health

The Indore monsoon changes what walks through the clinic door. From the first week of rain the same problems arrive together, across both specialties, every single year.

Ears itch after a wet ride home because a helmet keeps the canal warm and damp. Knees and old injuries ache as the air pressure drops. Polished floors and wet bathroom tiles cause most of the fractures we see in older adults. Feet stay wet for eight hours a day. And dengue climbs from August, carried by a mosquito that breeds in clean stored water and bites in daylight — which is why most of the advice families are given about it misses.

These articles are grouped here because the season, not the specialty, is what connects them.

Questions patients ask us

Why do infections increase during the Indore monsoon?

Humidity keeps skin and ear canals damp, waterlogged streets carry germs, and standing water lets mosquitoes breed. That combination raises fungal ear and skin infections, dengue and viral fevers every year — the guides below cover each one.

Which doctor should I see for monsoon ear problems?

An ENT specialist. Itchy or discharging ears after wet rides are often fungal (otomycosis), which needs cleaning under vision rather than drops bought over the counter. Dr. Soumya S. Maurya consults Mon–Sat, 6–8 PM in Indore.

How can my family reduce dengue risk during monsoon?

Empty standing water around the house weekly, use nets and repellents, and get a fever lasting more than two days tested rather than treated blindly at home. Our dengue prevention guide below goes step by step.
