The Dhaka Times Desk We all know pain killers are harmful. Taking painkillers is not healthy at all. You can do some yoga and rely on some foods to get relief from menstrual pain.
Many women experience severe discomfort during menstruation. Apart from severe abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, there are various changes in mood due to hormonal fluctuations during those few days of the month. Most women take a handful of pain relievers during this time to get rid of the physical discomfort. But literally taking painkillers is not healthy at all. Instead, this time you can do some yoga and rely on some food.
Chamomile tea
Abdominal pain during menstruation is caused by continuous contraction and expansion of the uterine muscles. Drinking chamomile tea at this time can be beneficial. Due to the 'anti-inflammatory' and 'anti-spasmodic' properties of this tea, menstrual pain can be reduced a lot. During this time, any caffeinated drink is prohibited. In that respect, chamomile tea is completely caffeine-free. With the consumption of this tea, a stimulant called 'glycine' is also produced in the body, which dulls the nerves. Due to which the feeling of pain is also reduced.
Dark chocolate
Doctors forbid eating chocolate during menstruation. But you can get rid of menstrual pain by eating dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. The magnesium in dark chocolate also helps relieve pain.
ginger
One thing that is very easily available is ginger. No matter how the cooking is done, it cannot be without ginger in the kitchen. Drinking tea made with ginger during menstruation will relieve the pain a lot. Not only that, during this time many people have problems such as holding the head and neck. This ginger can eliminate it. 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
