Winters – A Merry Season or The Season Of Infections?

As someone who dreads the colder months, winter always brings two things to my mind: cosy days with a hot beverage and the inevitable rise in sniffles, coughs, and fevers. Every year, as the temperature drops, I notice more friends and family battling annoying colds, lingering coughs, or something even more severe.

There’s a scientific reason behind this trend. When it’s cold, we spend more time indoors with less ventilation, which makes it easier for viruses and bacteria to spread. The dry air that often comes with winter also dries out our nasal passages, making it easier for germs to invade. Common respiratory viruses like influenza, RSV, and different coronaviruses love these conditions, causing seasonal surges in respiratory infections.

It’s easy to dismiss a sore throat or runny nose, but winter respiratory infections can quickly escalate:

Persistent cough
Fever or chills
Shortness of breath
Sore throat
Chest congestion
Fatigue

For kids, elderly people, or anyone with weaker immunity, it’s even more important to be vigilant.

Last year, after a nasty bout of cough, I realised that guessing or just hoping to “wait it out” wasn’t wise. Timely and accurate testing helps to:

Identify the exact infection (is it a cold, flu, or something else?)
Start the right treatment quickly
Prevent complications

Tests available nowadays cover everything from basic blood work to advanced panels that identify multiple viruses and bacteria, making diagnosis faster and more precise.
