Holi Colors Can Trigger Asthma Attacks: Doctor's Safety Tips for Patients

• Tiny particles of dry colors can enter the nose and respiratory tract, causing allergies like nasal congestion and irritation.
• Synthetic colors contain chemicals that damage the respiratory lining, increasing inflammation and mucus production.
• Color particles reaching the lungs can be dangerous for asthma patients, leading to irritation, inflammation, constricted airways, and severe asthma attacks.
• Dr. Stuti Gupta, Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, advises asthma patients to take regular inhaler medications on time.
• Use a preventive inhaler before playing Holi, avoid areas with excessive dry colors, and maintain distance from direct contact.
