Hospitals across the country report a rise in viral infections, allergies, and respiratory illnesses amid the change of season.
According to medical experts, sudden shifts in temperatures, humidity levels, pollens in the air, and fluctuating air quality put extra stress on the human body, making people more vulnerable.
Air pollution and sudden changes in weather can have a significant impact on health. When
the transition happens quickly, such as moving from cold conditions where people wear warm clothes to warmer conditions where fans and air conditioners are used, individuals become more vulnerable.
This is especially true for those with low immunity, the elderly, and people with chronic conditions like diabetes, chest problems, COPD, or asthma. These groups are more likely to experience health triggers during such abrupt weather shifts.
