Is my AC causing my child's cough?« Back to Previous Page

It's understandable to be concerned about the air quality in your apartment, especially during the summer months here in Dubai. The increase in dust particles and the persistent cough your child has experienced since turning on the AC could indeed be related. In the UAE, our climate can make it challenging for maintaining indoor air quality, particularly with high humidity levels post-rainy season.

Firstly, it is crucial to get a professional inspection done as per UAE regulations which mandate such checks every 5 years or when necessary. If you notice unusual dust particles or your child's health has been affected, then scheduling an inspection with a company like Saniservice could be beneficial. They can provide detailed reports and advice on how to improve air quality.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:
• Regularly clean or replace filters in your AC units. Make sure to do this at least every month during peak summer months.
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible to let fresh air circulate.
• Use a HEPA filter in your child's room to capture small particles that might be causing the cough.
• Consider using an air purifier with activated carbon filters which can help reduce odors and volatile organic compounds.

If symptoms persist, it would be wise to consult a medical professional for advice on your child’s condition. Persistent coughs could sometimes indicate more serious issues beyond just poor indoor air quality.

Remember, staying proactive about home maintenance can greatly improve the comfort and health of everyone in your household during such challenging times.
