Not only skin and eye infections but cases of allergic cough and cold cases are also rising among adults aged 30-65 due to air pollution. This surge, attributed to the city`s worsening air pollution and winter smog, has left experts grappling with an influx of patients seeking relief from persistent allergic coughs and colds that are triggered by an overreaction of the immune system because of environmental irritants. Experts advised to stay indoors when the air quality is poor in the area, wear masks, and use a purifier at home.
 
As the air quality in Mumbai is deteriorating day by day, the increased air pollution is creating havoc on one’s respiratory health. Dr Nimit Nagda, general physician at Zynova Shalby Hospital in Ghatkopar said, “The spike in cases of allergic cough and cold in adults aged 30-65 can be attributed to airborne pollutants and allergens during the smog. These conditions can cause inflammation in the airways, and raise the chances of allergic cough and common cold that can be severe and long-lasting. The winter season in Mumbai typically sees an increase in such cases due to temperature fluctuations. This year, however, the patients` symptoms are not subsiding even with standard medications. 6 out of 10 people daily in OPD with such as persistent coughing, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose and sore throat, and difficulty breathing. The treatment prescribed is antihistamines and decongestants. Also, take preventive measures such as using air purifiers at home, wearing masks when outdoors, and avoiding prolonged exposure to heavily polluted areas. So, be indoors when the air quality outside is poor to prevent these concerning respiratory problems.”

Dr C. C. Nair, internal medicine expert, Lilavati Hospital in Bandra adds, “Cool air during winter is more than just frosty air but also respiratory distress. The air pollution consists of particulate matter (PM) and other chemicals that take a toll on one’s respiratory health. 5 out of 10 people aged 35-60 in the OPD have stubborn allergic coughs and colds that need long-term medical attention. Medication, rest, prompt hydration, social distancing, personal hygiene, and hand sanitization will be key measures to tackle these problems. Even children aged 8-12 are complaining of allergic cough and cold and will need prompt intervention. Consult the expert without any delay, get vaccinated against flu and pneumonia,  if you have other symptoms such as breathlessness, and get yourself evaluated for asthma and bronchitis and initiate treatment for these conditions.” 
 
“Pollution during winter is known to aggravate respiratory problems such as allergic cough and cold. Higher levels of particulate matter and other pollutants tend to irritate and inflame the respiratory tract and weaken the immunity causing respiratory distress. Each day, 3-4 out of 10 people aged 30-65 come with an allergic cough and cold that refuses to subside. Antihistamines, cough syrups, nasal decongestants, and antibiotics will be prescribed to the patients. To prevent allergic cough and cold, wear masks, use a humidifier at home, eat a well-balanced diet, avoid exercising outdoors, practice good hygiene, including frequent hand washing, and keep windows closed during high pollution periods,” Concluded Dr Chhaya Vaja, Internal Medicine Expert, Apollo Spectra Mumbai.
