Monsoon Brings Relief... But Also a Rise in Respiratory Allergies
During July and August, increased humidity, mold growth, dust mites, and pollen exposure can significantly worsen allergic rhinitis, asthma, and other respiratory allergies. Many patients experience frequent sneezing, nasal blockage, wheezing, cough, and breathlessness during this season.
Protect yourself: • Keep your home clean and dry to prevent mold. • Reduce exposure to dust and allergens. • Wear a mask in dusty or high-pollen environments. • Take prescribed allergy and asthma medications regularly. • Do not ignore persistent cough, wheezing, or breathlessness—seek medical advice early.
Early prevention and timely treatment can prevent severe attacks and keep your lungs healthy this monsoon.
