This causes throat infection: As soon as the winter season starts, the temperature starts falling, due to which throat infection, cold and cough become common. The polluted air in winter season has a bad effect on our respiratory system. Due to which the infection in the throat spreads rapidly. Dry and cold air can irritate the lining of the throat, weakening its natural defense mechanism. Also, during winter, people spend more time in closed spaces, which increases the risk of the virus spreading in the air.
People with weak immunity are more vulnerable to seasonal viruses like cold or influenza when the temperature drops. Also, the low humidity in dry and cold air dries out the nasal passages.
Due to which it becomes easy for bacteria to enter. People who already have respiratory problems or a weak immune system are at higher risk of throat infection and its associated symptoms.
To avoid throat infection or cold, it is most important that you maintain cleanliness around you. Whenever you go out, wear warm clothes. Wear warm clothes even at home.
Washing hands regularly reduces the spread of bacteria. Keep yourself hydrated to keep your throat moist and protected. Use lukewarm salt water for gargling
A balanced diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants in your diet strengthens the immune system. Wearing a mask in crowded places and avoiding sudden exposure to cold air can also be helpful.
