The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population has released crucial health recommendations for individuals battling chest allergies, notably those with asthma, in light of the unpredictable weather patterns prevailing across Egypt. The ministry strongly advises against non-essential outings, especially during episodes of turbulent atmospheric conditions, such as strong winds, dust storms, and reduced visibility. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has forecasted such erratic weather changes in the upcoming week, underscoring the significance of proactive measures to safeguard respiratory well-being.
First and foremost, the ministry emphasizes the necessity of wearing a protective mask while venturing outside during dust storms. This precautionary measure acts as a barrier, filtering out harmful dust particles and preventing their entry into the respiratory system.

Opting for well-ventilated areas helps diminish the concentration of allergens present in the air while steering clear of crowded settings minimizes exposure to potential triggers.
Further, it is important to maintain proper hydration by drinking an ample amount of water is vital for optimizing blood flow to the lungs. This hydration strategy aids in thinning mucus secretions and promotes improved respiratory. Asthma and chest allergy patients should use inhalers as prescribed by their doctors.
