Is musty smell in bedroom causing coughs?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom, even after airing it out multiple times. My son has been complaining of a persistent cough, and I can't help but wonder if it’s related to the indoor air quality here. The bedroom is on the second floor, and there are no windows, making it seem especially stuffy. Could this be causing their symptoms?

The musty smell in your bedroom could very well be linked to the persistent coughs your son is experiencing. This situation isn't uncommon especially after a heavy rainfall which has been experienced recently, particularly in our region.
In Dubai and UAE, indoor air quality can indeed be affected by weather conditions like rain and humidity. These elements can lead to moisture accumulation, creating an environment ideal for mold growth. Mold spores are tiny and can easily circulate through the air, potentially causing respiratory issues such as coughs, especially among children or individuals with sensitivities. The lack of windows in your second-floor bedroom could also contribute to a stuffy feeling and possibly slower drying times after any moisture incursion. The enclosed space without proper ventilation might be trapping moisture and stale air, allowing mold to thrive undisturbed. Given the symptoms you've noticed and the environmental conditions, it's advisable to get your indoor air quality professionally inspected. In Dubai, you can contact 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for a thorough assessment of any potential mold growth and advice on how to improve your home’s air quality.
