Health officials in Mohali report a rise in fever infections among children, with about 50 youngsters attending the OPD each day.
Mohali health authorities have observed a noticeable increase in fever-related infections among children in recent days. The outpatient department (OPD) of the city’s primary health centre is seeing roughly fifty pediatric patients each day with symptoms of fever.
Officials attribute the uptick to seasonal factors that often promote viral spread, and they have urged parents to monitor temperature regularly and seek prompt medical attention for persistent fevers. The health department has also reinforced its fever‑clinic services, ensuring adequate staffing and supplies to manage the growing patient load.
The rise underscores the need for community awareness about preventive measures such as proper hydration, balanced nutrition, and maintaining hygiene to curb the spread of infections among young children.
No severe complications have been reported so far, and the health team continues to track the situation closely, ready to expand resources if the trend persists.
