Why do you get chronic cough & cold when seasons change?

Why do you get chronic cough and cold when seasons change? Seasonal allergies are the first symptoms to take place, thus increasing a person’s vulnerability to infections. The nasal inflammation brought on by seasonal allergies allows viruses to set up camp in your nose. Illness-causing intruders are not stopped by the otherwise occupied immune system and hence the rise in chronic cough and cold. Even without allergies in the picture, seasonal swings in temperature, barometric pressure and the wind can irritate the airways and nasal passages, thus compromising the immune system’s attack vector against the common cough and cold. 

The Yale School of Medicine has discovered that when the temperature reduces from 37 to 33 degrees celsius, the change can dampen immune response thereby allowing the viruses to replicate more. 

With the change of seasons, people tend to develop mucus. But, when smog (intense air pollution) is inhaled, the toxins settle in the lungs, which results in chronic cough, sore throat, wheezing and irritation in eyes and nose. 

What is cold?

While the cold weather does not cause the common cold, it promotes the same nevertheless. The common cold can be described as an upper respiratory tract infection caused by different types of viruses. It is transmitted by virus-infected airborne droplets. 

What is a cough? 

A cough is a perfectly phenomenon that helps keep the throat clear from irritants such as phlegm. It is the sustained cough that could be a symptom of other conditions such as an infection or an allergy. 

The different types of cough can be quite mind-boggling. 

• Pollution cough
• Allergy cough 
• Sore throat 
• Infection 
• Smoker’s cough 
• Change of weather cough

The difference between all of them is what triggers them. The irony is that they all cannot be avoided. Pollution is in the air. So are the allergens. Sore throat from bacteria and virus comes and goes, bringing excessing mucus along with it. 

The subsequent question that comes about is, what can you do about it? 

• Keep your nose area warm 
• Destress regularly 
• Good hygiene 
• Healthy diet 
• Stay away from people with the virus 
• Drink hot water
