Monkeypox Virus: Pregnant And Children Are More At Risk From Monkeypox, So Protect Them

 The number of patients of monkeypox is increasing day by day. In India too, the number of monkeypox patients has increased to 4. The first case of monkeypox has been registered in Delhi. Earlier, three people in Kerala have been infected with monkeypox. All three have returned from the United Arab Emirates. At the same time, the fourth person has not traveled abroad in the recent past. Therefore, the matter of concern is how a person from Delhi has become infected with monkeypox despite being at home.

At present, all the infected are being treated in the hospital. In view of the increasing cases of monkeypox, the government has issued guidelines advising people to take precautions. Especially, children and pregnant women should pay special attention to health. According to experts, the risk of monkeypox increases if the immunity is weak. Children and pregnant women have weak immunity. Young children are more vulnerable to this. Earlier in the year 1970, the first case of monkeypox was found in a young child of 9 years. Let us know about it in detail-

What the research says
Through a research, it has been revealed that pregnant women can also be infected with monkeypox. This research was done in Congo, in which 216 women were included. 4 out of 5 women involved in this research had a miscarriage. At the same time, symptoms of monkeypox were also found in children growing in the womb. For this, women should pay special attention to their health. This disease also occurs when having a physical relationship with an infected person. For this, keep distance from the infected person. Be sure to contact the doctor if symptoms appear.

Pregnant women should keep these things in mind
- Eat fresh fruits and vegetables to keep the immune system strong. Drink turmeric milk daily.
Do not share food items. Also, do not share your things like brushes, toothpaste, towels etc.
-Keep distance from the infected person. For this, keep a distance from the person if you see symptoms of cold, cough and monkeypox.
Wear a mask outside the house. With this you can also avoid corona virus infection.
