Rainy season is the most notorious season where spread of common cold and flu is the fastest. Common cold during this season comes along with headache and sore throat. Other symptoms like runny nose and nasal congestion also accompany cough due to the damp weather.
Whether it’s the cold spells, pouring rains or hot and humid summers, respiratory viruses and allergies never leave a single opportunity to infect us. The dry and cold air during winters can dry out the nasal passage and simply irritate the throat and lungs causing cough.
As the winter sets in, days become shorter. This reduces our exposure to direct sunlight. Lack of exposure to sunlight can cause Vitamin D deficiency which can weaken our immune system. Because the defence mechanism of the immune system is affected, viruses can survive, grow and multiply in our body for a longer period of time.
The worst part is that coughing is no longer only dependent on just seasonal changes. Looking at the erratic climate changes taking place daily, people with a healthy immune system also catch up respiratory infections.
It is very important to take precautions and follow the crucial steps to stay away from such medical conditions during change in seasons.
