Fight Seasonal Illnesses

Currently, Nepal is gripped with a wave of respiratory illnesses, particularly the common cold, influenza and flu. Just as the cold season is bidding adieu, there has been a surge in such viral respiratory illnesses, which have alarmed the population in general. It is quite common to experience respiratory illnesses during the colder months. There are several causes for it. During winter, humidity is low as the air tends to be drier, which in turn can dry out the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract. This enables viruses to easily enter the body and cause infections.
