Cough and phlegm that start immediately when the weather changes or dust is blown affect the daily lives of many people. More than just a normal fever, allergy-related causes are behind this. The main causes are:
Dust and smoke in the atmosphere (Dust & Pollution): Inhaling dust particles in the atmosphere, smoke from vehicles, and dust from construction sites causes swelling in the airways. This leads to chronic coughing and phlegm.
Pollen and fungus (Pollen & Mold): Allergies can be caused by inhaling pollen from some plants. In addition, fungi (Mold) that grow on damp walls and fabrics inside the house enter the lungs through inhalation, causing mucus to fill the lungs.
Pet hair: The hair of pets such as cats and dogs and the dust from their skin (Pet Dander) can cause strong allergies in many people. This can cause sneezing and tightness in the chest.
Perfumes and strong odors: Sandalwood smoke, strong-smelling perfumes, mosquito repellents, and paint can irritate the airways and cause phlegm.
Cold food and weather: Consumption of cold water, ice cream, and yogurt can increase phlegm in people with allergies. Similarly, sudden changes in weather during the rainy season or winter can irritate the cells in the airways.
