Health concerns are mounting in Karachi as the ongoing dry weather triggers a spike in throat and chest ailments, including dry cough, fever, and throat irritation.
Medical experts have highlighted that children and elderly individuals, with their comparatively weaker immune systems, are particularly vulnerable to these seasonal illnesses. “The combination of dusty air and dry weather is exacerbating respiratory and throat problems, especially for the most at-risk groups,” doctors warned.
The increasing levels of dust in the city have further worsened the situation, prompting experts to urge residents to take proactive measures to safeguard their health.
To mitigate these health risks, doctors recommend avoiding cold beverages, incorporating nourishing soups and broths into diets, and wearing warm clothing during cooler evenings. Additionally, the use of masks is advised when outdoors to reduce exposure to dust and pollutants.
Citizens are encouraged to follow these preventive steps to minimize the impact of the harsh weather conditions on their health.
