Health deteriorated due to cold, 32 year old youth died before treatment
Pramod Kumar (32 years), resident of village Nawali of Avagarh police station area, was complaining of cold for two days. According to the relatives, treatment was going on at the local level, but his health suddenly deteriorated on Friday morning. Local doctors described his condition as serious, after which his relatives took him to Agra for treatment. However, Pramod died before reaching the hospital. Relatives are fearing a heart attack due to cold. It was told that Pramod did not have any serious illness before, due to which the family is shocked by his sudden death.
Oxygen level drops due to cold, old woman from Badaun dies while taking her to Saifai
Jakara Sultan (70 years), resident of Mohalla Nagaran of Badaun Nagar, also died due to cold. The deceased's nephew Muhammad Shahbaz said that she was suffering from kidney disease and was admitted to Badaun Medical College. He was referred to Saifai on Thursday evening as the oxygen level continued to fall. While being taken for treatment, Etah's condition worsened. Doctors declared him dead when he reached the emergency room of Veerangana Avantibai Autonomous Medical College at 8.30 pm. Doctors have also confirmed that the oxygen level is low due to cold.
Cold increases the problems of children, crowd of patients from OPD to ward
The increasing cold is having the biggest impact on the health of children. From the OPD of the Medical College to the wards of the Pediatrics Department, the number of sick children is continuously increasing. Due to cold, children are becoming vulnerable to pneumonia, chest tightness, cough, fever and respiratory diseases. At present, 25 children are admitted in the pediatric ward, while treatment of newborn and serious children is going on in SNCU also.
According to pediatrician Dr. AB Singh, the immunity of children becomes weak in cold. Especially newborns and children under five years of age need extra vigilance. Falling temperature affects the respiratory system, which increases the risk of serious diseases.
Chill continues, problems increase due to stable temperature
The weather pattern continues to remain harsh. On Friday, cold winds forced people to shiver throughout the day. The fog was light in the morning, which brought relief to the traffic, but due to the clouds the sun did not come out. The minimum temperature in the district was eight and maximum 19 degrees Celsius. Due to no significant change in temperature, the effect of cold remains constant. The chill has increased more in the morning and evening. The difficulties of the elderly, children and already sick people have increased. People are forced to resort to bonfires and heaters.
According to meteorologist Dr. Manish Kumar Singh, there is little possibility of relief from cold for the next few days. In such a situation, people need to be especially cautious.
