Six Acute Infectious Diseases to Watch Out for in Spring

Knowing what you are dealing with will help you choose effective treatment options such as medication or home remedies. Listed below are six of the most common infectious diseases in spring:

1. Ear Infection

Ear infections, medically known as ‘otitis media,’ are very common, especially in children. You are likely to become more susceptible to ear infections during spring the Eustachian Tube becomes inflamed. This tube connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx. Ear infections are more frequent and pass quickly in children but can be more painful for adults. Common symptoms include fluid discharge from the ears, loss of appetite, fever, and increased ear pressure.

2. Sinus Infection

According to TellMDCare, sinus infections can be prevented by practicing social distancing from infected people or staying hydrated. But some people are more vulnerable to this infectious disease during spring and will feel nasal polyps or narrowing sinus openings.

 

3. Strep Throat

Strep throat is a contagious bacterial infection that attacks the throat and makes it itch. It is common in winter and early spring. Consult an online doctor for strep throat at TelMDCare and get rid of irritable symptoms.  

4. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

UTIs become more common as the weather gets warmer because people are not as hydrated as they ought to be or are holding urine in the bladder for longer. UTIs spread when naturally occurring bacteria around the rectum enters the urethra or urinary tract.

5. Pink Eye

Also known as conjunctivitis is an infectious disease that spreads more in summer and spring due to the increased pollen in the atmosphere. In this disease, a thin layer appears on the whites of the eye and also lines the eyelid making it inflamed and red/pink.

6. Cough and Bronchitis

Bronchitis is a severe lung infection that causes phlegm build-up, congestion, throat ache, and irritation. Seasonal changes and smoking are two of the causes of bronchitis and cough. If you are suffering from bronchitis or a cough, TelMDCare will connect you to a doctor to get the best treatment.
