Fever in Winter: Why Early Diagnosis Matters in Mumbai’s Climate
Winter in Mumbai isn’t extremely cold, but the season brings a noticeable rise in viral and infectious fevers. Due to air pollution, fluctuating temperatures, and water contamination, residents often experience high fever, chills, fatigue, headaches, breathing issues, and digestive discomfort.
Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent complications—and the right diagnostic tests can make all the difference.
At BIOCHECK DIAGNOSTICS & POLYCLINIC, we specialize in winter fever evaluation, helping patients recover faster and avoid serious infections.
🌡️ Why Fevers Rise in Mumbai During Winter
- ✔️ Air Pollution – Increases respiratory infections & viral fever
- ✔️ Mosquito Breeding – Higher dengue & malaria cases
- ✔️ Seasonal Viruses – Flu, viral fever & gastroenteritis
- ✔️ Low Immunity – Triggered by weather fluctuation & dust
- ✔️ Contaminated Food & Water – Raises typhoid and stomach fever risks
Common winter fevers in Mumbai include:
- Viral Fever
- Dengue Fever
- Malaria
- Typhoid Fever
- Pollution-related fevers & respiratory infections
🧪 Essential Fever Tests We Offer at Biocheck
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Checks infection levels, platelet count & inflammation; useful for viral fever, bacterial infection, dengue alerts.
- SGPT: Evaluates liver stress; important in dengue, hepatitis, drug-induced fever & dehydration.
- M.P. (Malaria Parasite Test): Detects malaria in high fever with chills.
- Widal Test: Detects typhoid due to contaminated food or water.
- Urine Routine: Identifies infections or metabolic issues.
- Dengue NS1 Antigen Test: Early dengue detection (Day 1–5), prevents platelet drop & complications.
- Typhi IgM: Confirms early-stage typhoid.
🏥 Why Early Testing is Crucial
- Prevents low platelet levels
- Reduces risk of organ complications
- Prevents dehydration & long recovery
- Avoids hospitalization
- Limits infection spread
Early testing ensures faster, accurate treatment.
👨⚕️ Who Should Get Tested Immediately?

🌍 Fever & Air Pollution – Mumbai’s Silent Trigger
High air pollution weakens immunity and increases respiratory infections. Smog irritates the lungs, making fevers stronger and recovery slower—especially for children and the elderly.
Tip: Wear a mask, improve ventilation, and drink clean water.
