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.
