Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI): Here’s How To Stay Protected

Monsoons bring relief from summer heat, but can also increase the risk of LRTI or Lower Respiratory Tract Infection. 

LRTI is an infection that affects the lungs or airways, leading to symptoms like cough, chest discomfort, fatigue, and sometimes difficulty in breathing.

The monsoon season increases humidity and promotes the spread of viruses and bacteria, making respiratory infections like LRTI more common.

Noticing a surge in Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) cases in your area? Here’s how you can protect yourself:

• Wash hands frequently with soap and water
• Wear a mask, especially in crowded or polluted areas
• Avoid close contact with people who are unwell
• Eat a healthy diet, stay well-hydrated, and get enough rest
• Get vaccinated as advised
• Don’t ignore a persistent cough, fever, or breathing issues

Why it matters:
Early care can help manage symptoms better and prevent complications.
