If it is difficult to turn your neck in the cold, you can find relief in some regular activities

The Dhaka Times Desk Doctors said that the flexibility of the joints can also decrease due to cold. Due to which the shoulder, neck or waist muscles become tight.

When someone suddenly calls from behind, you turn your head to look, but the pain in your neck is such that you cannot turn easily. Many times the muscles of the neck or shoulders may feel tense due to sleeping. But sometimes this kind of pain can increase with cold. Even if you go to lower the waist, it is difficult many times.

In this regard, the doctors said, the flexibility of joints can also decrease due to winter. Due to which the shoulder, neck or waist muscles become tight. It is difficult to move. Such problems can occur even if the body lacks water. But if you keep a few things in mind, you can easily overcome this kind of problem.

Wear warm clothes

Keeping your body warm will keep this type of pain at bay. So apart from sweaters, jackets, thermal clothes should be worn if necessary. You can wrap the comforter around the neck.

Exercise regularly

Exercise regularly to maintain joint flexibility. Increasing muscle strength will make it easier to keep all parts of the body moving. Even if you keep your weight under control, this type of pain will decrease. Body weight is also under control if you exercise.

Eat a balanced diet

Instead of relying on medicine, eat foods rich in vitamin D, calcium, and omega-3 regularly. Also protein, vitamin-rich foods are required.

Drink enough water

Without drinking enough water, the body can become dehydrated. This lack of water intake is also responsible for the loss of muscle flexibility.

Minimize use of heat pads

In the elderly, there is also a tendency to give hot compresses only when there is pain. But the problem is that hot poultices for this kind of pain will give temporary relief. The pain may return later. So it is better not to use heat pad. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).

Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.

1. Common dengue fever

2. Dengue fever with bleeding.

In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-

1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.

2. Severe headache.

3. Pain behind the eyes.

4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.

5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.

6. Nausea or vomiting.

7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.

In case of dengue fever with bleeding:

1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.

2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.

If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.

On the other hand

Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.

Things to do to prevent Dengue:

1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.

2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.

3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.

4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.

5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.

6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.

7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.

8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
