Spike in Childhood Diarrhea and Dehydration Amid Rise in Flies and Heat

Date:

Medical authorities have reported an increase in diarrhea cases among children during the recent hot weather, with a rise in dehydration linked to both diarrhea and high temperatures.

Health specialists attribute the situation partly to an increase in flies during this period, which is contributing to the spread of infections.

Parents and caregivers are advised to ensure children remain hydrated. Natural fluids such as lemon juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, tangerine juice, and clean water are recommended.

Medical professionals warn that untreated dehydration in children may lead to serious health risks.
