Protect Your Child’s Lungs This Winter: 5 Smart Indoor Practices
The colder months mean more time indoors and higher exposure to stale air and allergens. Here’s how to keep your child’s lungs strong and clear this winter.
1. Keep Indoor Humidity in Check (40 to 60 per cent)
Dry air can irritate a child’s airway, while too much humidity fuels mould and dust mites. Use a hygrometer to monitor levels, run a cool-mist humidifier only when needed, and clean it often. Aim for air that feels comfortable, not stuffy or dry.
2. Ventilate Smartly: Don’t Just Rely on Purifiers
Fresh air dilutes viruses and indoor pollutants better than any gadget. Open the windows twice a day for a few minutes, switch on the kitchen chimney while cooking, and use bathroom exhaust fans. In heavily polluted cities, combine short ventilation breaks with a HEPA purifier.
3. Pick a True HEPA Purifier. Avoid Ionisers
True HEPA filters trap 99 per cent of fine particles like dust and smoke that harm kids’ lungs, unlike ionisers that can emit ozone. Choose a purifier sized for your room, change filters on time, and place it where your child spends the most time.
4. Eliminate Indoor Smoke and Hidden Irritants
Burning mosquito coils, incense, or cooking with kerosene releases particles that damage young lungs. Switch to electric repellents or fans, keep windows open while cooking, and never smoke indoors. Small changes here make a big difference to indoor air quality.
5. Keep Daily Habits Lung-Friendly
Simple routines protect children’s airways. Dry laundry outdoors, damp-mop floors to trap dust, and wash toys regularly. Keep nasal passages moist with saline drops and stay updated on vaccines to prevent severe infections during winter.
Healthy air at home starts with small, consistent steps — balanced humidity, fresh ventilation, zero smoke, and clean daily habits that keep little lungs strong all winter. Book a consultation and speak directly with a qualified professional for personalised guidance.
