Why do kids fall sick more during the monsoon?

KDAH

Monsoon brings cool breezes and greenery, but also more coughs, colds, and breathing trouble in children. Why? * Weather changes during the rainy season can confuse the body and make it harder to fight off infections. * High humidity irritates the airways, making it harder for little lungs to breathe freely, especially since children’s immune systems are still developing. * The damp environment becomes a breeding ground for mold, dust mites, and viruses, which can trigger asthma, viral infections, the common cold, or a persistent cough. Keep your child’s surroundings dry, boost their immunity with healthy food, and don’t ignore early symptoms. Consult your pediatrician if symptoms persist.
