The immune system weakens while adjusting to new conditions. Air pollution and allergens also rise during seasonal shifts. To stay healthy, experts recommend drinking plenty of water, eating vitamin C-rich foods, and getting enough sleep. Washing hands frequently, wearing weather-appropriate clothing, and avoiding crowded places can help prevent infections. If symptoms like high fever, severe cough, or breathing difficulties persist for more than 3-4 days, consult a doctor immediately. Children and the elderly are more vulnerable and may need extra care during weather transitions. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 07:03 IST; source: link)
