1. Air Pollution

Hyderabad’s air quality, especially during construction season or winter, often dips into the “unhealthy” range. Inhaling pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, smoke, and fine particulate matter causes chronic inflammation in your nasal passages, leading to recurrent or persistent sinus infections.

2. Dust and Allergens

From traffic dust to poorly ventilated buildings, dust is everywhere. Combine that with allergens like pollen, mold, and pet dander, and your sinuses are under attack year-round.

3. Stress and Lack of Sleep

City life is busy and stressful. Did you know that stress weakens the immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections, including sinus infections? Poor sleep also lowers your body’s defense system, increasing the likelihood of chronic sinus issues.

4. Indoor Air Quality

We spend most of our day in air-conditioned offices, malls, and vehicles. These enclosed spaces often have dry air, recycled allergens, and even mold, all of which aggravate sinus problems.
