Over heat wave affected the children mostly in Bangladesh

The little children are suffering from fever and diarrhea. For over heat wave, the children of northern area of Bangladesh are affected mostly.

Reuters reported:

Most patients went home fully cured within two or three days, hospital officials said. No one had yet died from diarrhoea in the current outbreak.

Doctors said patients were treated with oral dehydration saline and medicines that, if applied quickly, prevented possible death.

The disease, caused by people eating rotten food and drinking polluted water, escalates during summer when drinking water is in short supply, forcing people to use contaminated sources.

From the report of weather office, we can know that the condition will change in the middle of June. The monsoon air can not pass over Bangladesh that's why the weather is too much unbearable for us, especially for the children.
