At the time of transition rainy season to dry season, complaints ARI (upper respiratory infection) can suddenly bloom at all. Starting from rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis to laryngitis. Generally, symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection can include fever, cough, runny nose or sneezing or sore throat.

In addition to ARI, allergic diseases such as asthma or rhinitis are also frequent. At the turn of the rainy season to dry season the valve is cold and dry and a lot of dust can also trigger asthma relapse.

The high volume of rainfall causes floods, the wind causes the dust flying, making the risk of contamination of food / drink by bacteria or parasites cause diarrhea increasing.

Bacterial infections, parasites, and viruses that enter the digestive tract through food / beverages are often diidap children and toddlers because the immune system is not optimal.

Do not underestimate the diarrhea. If the child has a bowel movement that is too liquid continuously, should note the child's fluid intake. Providing drinking enough fluids is very much ORS to help sufferers, especially to stabilize the electrolyte body and lowers the risk of exacerbations. In essence, patients still watch fluid intake.
