Fever, Typhoid, CBC & More – Stay Safe This Rainy Season

The Dark Side of the Rain

Monsoons in India are a beautiful contradiction. While they offer relief from the scorching heat and paint the earth green with life, they also create the perfect breeding ground for infections, illnesses, and medical emergencies. From sudden viral fevers to full-blown outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases, the rainy season brings with it a silent threat to public health.

At Dr. Palve Labs, we believe prevention is smarter than a cure, especially during monsoon months when diseases tend to spiral fast. One of the most proactive steps you can take is getting tested before things get serious.

In this blog, we’ll explore the top five essential diagnostic tests you should consider this season, why they matter, and how Dr. Palve Labs makes testing convenient, affordable, and accurate from the comfort of your home.

1. Fever Panel Test
Why This Test Is Crucial

Unexplained fevers are among the most common symptoms during monsoons. They could be caused by viral flu, typhoid, leptospirosis, or mosquito-borne diseases, but the symptoms often overlap. Instead of guessing, a comprehensive Fever Panel helps pinpoint the cause early and accurately.

Symptoms to Watch
  • Sudden high-grade fever
  • Muscle pain or fatigue
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Headaches or joint pain
2. Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Why This Test Is a Must

Think of the CBC test as your first responder. It’s a quick yet powerful way to spot internal red flags, especially when you have unexplained fevers, fatigue, or signs of an infection.

What It Detects
  • Elevated white blood cells (WBCs) indicating infection
  • Low platelet count often seen in viral or dengue-like fevers
  • Anemia indicators including hemoglobin and RBC count
  • Overall immune and blood health
When to Take It
  • At the onset of unexplained fever
  • If you feel fatigued, pale, or weak
  • As part of a routine checkup during the rainy season
3. Stool Routine and Microscopy
Why It’s Often Ignored but Shouldn’t Be

Monsoon means food contamination. Rainwater often mixes with sewage and finds its way into homes, restaurants, and food carts. This leads to a dramatic rise in gastrointestinal diseases such as cholera, typhoid, E. coli, and parasitic infections.

Red Flags
  • Loose stools or frequent diarrhea
  • Stomach pain or cramping
  • Vomiting or nausea
  • Blood or mucus in stool
  • Low appetite in children or elders
Who Should Take It
  • Children frequently falling sick
  • People eating street food or raw vegetables
  • Anyone recovering from a recent stomach infection
4. Urine Routine Analysis
Why It’s More Relevant in Monsoon

Humidity, poor hygiene, and prolonged dampness lead to urinary tract infections and bladder problems, especially in women and children. Ignoring that mild discomfort in urination can lead to kidney issues or prolonged pain.

When to Book It
  • Burning or pain while urinating
  • Smelly or cloudy urine
  • Increased urge to urinate but low output
  • Fever with chills and lower abdominal pain
Pro Tip

Always ensure midstream sample collection for highest accuracy.

5. Widal Test (Typhoid Detection)
Why Typhoid Is Monsoon’s Silent Predator

Typhoid spreads via the fecal-oral route, often through contaminated food or water, which is everywhere during the monsoon. Left untreated, typhoid can damage your liver, spleen, and intestines.

Key Symptoms
  • Persistent high-grade fever
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Abdominal bloating
  • Low energy and body pain
  • Enlarged spleen or liver on clinical examination
The Role of Widal Test

The Widal test detects antibodies in your blood that indicate an active Salmonella Typhi infection, helping doctors prescribe the right antibiotic treatment in time.
