Autumn Weather and Respiratory Health

With the arrival of the autumn season, a challenging period begins for individuals with chronic respiratory issues. Cold, damp air and wind irritate the airways, causing a sharp increase in bronchitis and bronchial asthma flare-ups.

Main Causes and Risk Factors for Flare-Ups:

  • Impact of Cold Air: Breathing in cold air causes the bronchi to constrict, triggering spasms and coughing fits.
  • Allergens and Dust: Mold resulting from decomposing fallen leaves and dust act as strong respiratory irritants.
  • Viral Infections: Complications such as bronchitis frequently develop against the backdrop of seasonal colds.

Key Prevention Rules:

  • When going outside, cover your mouth and nose with a scarf to slightly warm the air you inhale.
  • Keep indoor air clean by regularly airing out rooms and managing dust levels.
  • Always carry prescribed inhalers and medications with you and use them on time.

Take care of your health and consult a medical specialist at the very first sign of worsening symptoms.
