Could mold be causing our coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the bedroom closet, and both my kids have started to cough at night. The AC in our apartment seems to be struggling to keep up with the humidity despite running non-stop. Could this be causing their symptoms or is it just coincidence?

Could Mold Be Causing Our Coughs?
It's quite possible that the musty smell and coughing symptoms you're experiencing could be linked to mold growth. After such heavy rains, it's common for moisture to seep into walls, carpets, or furniture, creating a perfect environment for molds to thrive in your bedroom closet. Mold spores can easily enter your air supply and trigger respiratory issues, especially in children. Symptoms like coughing are often reported when people are exposed to mold. The high humidity levels you've noticed with the AC struggling could be exacerbating this issue as well. In Dubai, the climate can sometimes lead to such conditions, particularly after significant rainfall. Given the specific conditions you're experiencing, it's highly advisable to have a professional inspection done to assess any potential mold growth and identify areas of concern. This will not only help in addressing immediate health concerns but also prevent future issues. You can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.
