Monsoon Alert – Protect Your Lungs, Prevent a Flare up

Essential lung care tips for the monsoon season. The damp weather increases the risk of respiratory infections, asthma, and bronchitis, so taking extra precautions is crucial.

Must Do’s:

1. Practice breathing exercises – Daily pranayama or diaphragmatic breathing strengthens your lungs and improves oxygen flow.

2. Avoid cold and damp environments – Moisture encourages mold growth, which can trigger respiratory allergies and infections. Keep your home dry with dehumidifiers or proper ventilation.

3. Use a saline nasal spray – This helps clear allergens and pollutants from your nasal passages, reducing the risk of infections.

4. Keep inhalers and medications handy – If you have asthma or chronic lung issues, always have your prescribed inhalers and medications with you.

5. Stay hydrated – Drink warm water and herbal teas to loosen mucus and keep your airways clear.

Don’ts:
1. Avoid getting wet in the rain – Damp clothes and cold exposure can trigger respiratory infections.
2. Stay away from roadside food – It may carry bacteria and fungi that can worsen respiratory issues.
3. Don’t ignore persistent cough or breathlessness – Seek medical help if symptoms persist.
4. Avoid smoking and pollution – Smoke and damp air can worsen lung conditions.

If you experience persistent cough, wheezing, or breathlessness, don’t ignore it—seek medical attention. Stay safe and breathe easy this monsoon!
