The Dhaka Times Desk Not by bus or car, but by plane or boat, many people feel nauseous. This problem can be aggravated on hilly roads.
In medical terms this is called 'motion sickness'. Such a problem occurs when riding in a vehicle for a long time, but why? Doctors say that different parts of the body feel motion in different ways. Signals from those organs go directly to the brain. The nerves of the brain get confused by receiving different signals from different directions. Can't figure out what to do. And that's when dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea occurs. However, 'motion sickness' can be controlled.
Things to do before getting in a car to control motion sickness
# Those who either do not read a book on a moving bus or read anything on a mobile phone.
# people who suffer from this type of problem always try to sit in the front seat in the bus or car and that's what they should do. It is better not to sit in the back.
# Open the window of the bus or car if vomiting or any other physical problem occurs. The outside air will help keep you fresh.
# You can carry joan, lemon leaves, water or mini packets of ginger while traveling. These will give you temporary relief.
# Sit facing the direction the car is moving.
# It is best not to eat anything on a full stomach before travelling. Have a light meal and get in the car. So don't get up on an empty stomach.
# An anti-emetic can be taken before the trip, that will work too. 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
