Phulparas Sub-Divisional Hospital in Madhubani district has seen a significant increase in seasonal illnesses. Due to sudden weather fluctuations and temperature changes, there has been an unexpected rise in patients suffering from colds, coughs, and high fever. The Outpatient Department (OPD) witnessed long queues of patients seeking treatment from morning, with a majority being women.

The surge in patient numbers posed a considerable challenge for hospital administration and healthcare staff in managing the situation. Crowds gathered from the registration counter to the doctor's chambers. Given the seriousness of the situation and the long lines, doctors on OPD duty extended their hours until approximately 4 PM, examining every patient in the queue.

Following medical consultations, necessary pathology tests and digital X-rays were provided free of charge to needy patients at the hospital. Subsequently, essential medicines, including antibiotics, paracetamol, and cough syrup, prescribed by doctors, were distributed completely free from the hospital's pharmacy counter.

Doctors have advised the public to exercise special caution due to the changing weather. They recommend consuming fresh and light meals, drinking plenty of water, and seeking medical advice at the hospital immediately upon experiencing initial symptoms, rather than relying on home remedies.
