Tips to Avoid ENT Problems During Rainy Season
Monsoon arrives with wet and cold weather, changing the dry and humid conditions. These conditions are perfect for the growth of mild dust mites and bacteria, causing several ailments.
Bacteria lead to bacterial infections, while mold and dust mites cause fungal infections coupled with seasonal allergies. There’s a lot of pollen in the air, causing some seasonal allergies.
Preventing ENT Issues in Bhubaneswar During Monsoon
- Maintaining hygiene
- Wiping all surfaces which might attract dust and dirt
- Maintaining a clean environment at home
- Vacuuming all fabrics, carpets, upholstery, and soft toys
- Constant cleaning of fans and air conditioner filter
- Avoid putting on damp clothes
- Use dryers to dry clothes and fabrics
- Avoiding contact with people who are already infected with a cold or sore throat
- Avoid proximity with allergens such as smoke, air fresheners, sprays and any other substances that might irritate the throat
- Keeping the ears dry, particularly when taking a shower. Fungi and bacteria can trap the ears leading to infections.
