Songkran 2024: Advice Health after Songkran – What to check your body for?

This year’s Songkran is going to be so much fun, right? Both the place and the people. Plus, this year 2024 is the first year that we can organize a full-scale Songkran after holding back for so long from the Covid period that has passed for many years. Last year, we held back again and again, but could never go all out. This year, we are ready. China, Japan, Korea, Westerners, they all flew in to let our friends get soaked.

But don't forget that the fun is over, we still have to take care of ourselves because some things may affect our health. Let's see what we should check and check after the Songkran Festival. Because when we go to play "water", no matter what the meaning of water is, we play continuously, marathon for many days, there may be an impact from Songkran that makes us feel mentally exhausted after the festival. For some people who play in the water outdoors for a long time, even though they are wet, they may still get dehydrated, which is an impact of Songkran that we are not aware of.

Let's take a look at a list of what we should check to restore our health after Songkran.

Check your physical condition: Tips and advice

Various skin diseases During Songkran, we have to be splashed with water. Some people have itchy, red rashes from splashing unclean water. Fungal infections on fingers and toes that we have to soak in water for a long time are common. We recommend a drug store to buy medicine to apply yourself first. If you have athlete's foot, you should wear shoes that are open and not damp, which may make the wound worse.

For sunburn, only aloe vera gel can help. In some cases where the skin is very hot, do not expose your skin to the sun. It may make it worse. Apply a good skin care cream. It will help restore your skin quickly.
For those who are into heavy partying and have to deal with fatigue after a marathon party and get splashed with water, vitamins and minerals should help them recover quickly. Try finding a good vitamin course to restore your skin and get a drip before meeting people. It should help to some extent.
For those who are into naughty activities during Songkran, if you have symptoms such as pus, a rash, itching, swelling in your genitals, anus, or sore throat, take precautions early on. Consult a doctor or a specialist to help you recover faster. Book now at testBKK.org/q224org.
For those who are already naughty, take good care of yourself and check up regularly, don't forget to get your PrEP ready. Or if you accidentally took a risk, get PEP within 72 hours. PrEP Infographic (Thai version)
Check your mental state: Restore your mind after the festival

Fatigue after the festival often occurs frequently from the state when the adrenaline in the body is used up a lot, driving the body to have fun and excitement during Songkran. After the festival, you may feel tired or lethargic, which can be confused with depression. So if you can't handle it, go see a doctor because if you're just tired after the festival, it will go away after a while. But if it's a sign of something else, it's best to get a diagnosis as soon as possible.
Festival blues After a fun festival, you have to go back to your normal life, going to work in the morning and evening. It often triggers feelings of loneliness and sadness, which are symptoms of post-festival blues. However, this condition is not scary or a serious disease. You just have to be aware that you have these feelings only during this time. To connect you to a normal life Try to find a hobby, go to a cafe, relax, or talk to friends to relieve this feeling.
Finally, don't forget that if you have symptoms or unusual moods in your body, don't wait until it's too late. Post-Songkran symptoms may not seem like a big deal right now, but if you keep them, they will develop into other symptoms and it will be chaotic.
