Introduction

• Winters are a beautiful time to travel and
  explore new places. If you are planning on
  heading out this season, here are some essential
  travel-related infections and health issues that
  you should watch out for this winter. The
  dropping temperature can conspire with a lot of
  other environmental factors to make you fall
  terribly ill if you don't take the right
  precautions. Here are some of the most common
  ones that you should be watching out for this
  season.

Dry cough

• Unlike your regular khasi, a dry cough can be a
  symptom of something more serious. In any case,
  it is especially common in dry, cold climates
  where the harsh winter winds can dry up your
  sinuses and cause a strain on your lungs. If you
  are in a particularly cold environment that is
  pretty dry, make sure to keep yourself warm at
  all times and avoid exposing yourself to direct
  winter winds for too long.

Throat Infections

• The cold weather is also ideal for throat
  infections if you are not vigilant about what you
  eat. Avoid consuming fried and excessively oily
  food and ensure you don't agitate your throat
  unnecessarily. All these things can lead to an
  itchy throat, followed by throat pain and throat
  infection. If you don't find relief from home
  remedies, you should seek medical care,
  especially if you have swollen tonsils too.

Sinus Infections

• A clogged nose during the winter is a fairly
  common experience, but if left untreated or
  ignored for too long, it can cause severe sinus
  infections. Always make sure you drink plenty of
  fluids and eat balanced meals to replenish any
  nutrients you might lose from an extended cold.
  It is a good idea to opt for ayurvedic treatments
  that can bring instant relief while also
  fortifying your body from within. A strong kadha
  would be an excellent example of one such
  effective treatment.

Stomach Infections

• Just because the monsoons have passed doesn't
  mean one is free from the clutches of water-borne
  diseases. Bacteria in food can still continue to
  wreak havoc on your system, and as always, you
  should be careful about the food you eat as well
  as how you consume it. It is a good idea to
  change your diet a bit to match the needs of a
  typical winter. Many local cuisines have specific
  winter dishes that provide you with the extra
  nourishment you need against the cold.
