Gadwal: The District Medical and Health Officer, Dr. Sasikala, has urged residents to remain vigilant due to heavy rains in the district. Seasonal illnesses such as cough, cold, sore throat, fever, stomach ache, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory problems, and indigestion are common during this period.
