The musty smell and discoloration on your ceiling coupled with the kids' coughing issues definitely warrant attention. Mold growth can be a serious health concern, particularly in children who might have weaker immune systems or respiratory issues. In Dubai/UAE, it's important to address mold promptly as per the local building codes and regulations which require proper remediation.

The first step is to call for an expert inspection right away. Contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email hello@saniservice.com can help you get in touch with professionals who are experienced with mold issues in the UAE. They will be able to assess the severity of the situation and recommend appropriate measures.

In the meantime, try to avoid direct contact with the affected area until you have professional advice. Keep windows closed if it's raining or humid outside as this can exacerbate the issue. Also, ensure good ventilation by using fans but not directly pointing them at areas where mold might be present.

Remember that molds produce allergens and irritants which can cause respiratory issues like coughing and wheezing. In Dubai’s hot and humid climate, it's especially crucial to prevent such issues from worsening.

Prompt action is key, so don’t wait. Get in touch with the experts to ensure your family’s health and safety.
