Lower Respiratory Tract Infections In Monsoon: Causes And Symptoms

LRTI is an infection that affects the lungs or airways, and it tends to increase during the monsoon due to high humidity, sudden temperature changes, and poor air quality.

• Fever and chills (99°F to 101°F)
• लगातार खांसी आना
• Chest pain or discomfort
• साँस लेने में कठिनाई
• थकान
• Whistling sound while breathing (wheezing)

Why this matters: Early care can help avoid complications and ensure a faster recovery.
