With these sudden temperature shocks the risk of getting sick increases. Therefore, if we use this refrigerant intelligently we can avoid much trouble. In this sense, the Emergency Coordinator of the Quirónsalud Sur Hospital in Madrid, Agustín Fernández Villar, highlights that the ideal is keep the air temperature between 20 and 22 degreesalthough there are still people who put it lower.

“The temperature of the air conditioning and the speed of the air generate a lot of dryness in the respiratory tract, generally leading to rhinitis, sinusitis, and dryness of the pharynx. This must be avoided by not standing directly in the area where the air comes out and maintaining a temperature around 22 degrees,” emphasizes the specialist.

Thus, he gives as an example the long car trips with the air conditioning plugged in the five hours of the journey, “a risk if you don't want to get sick since our airways have predictably become irritated and dried out due to the cold air, with the consequent entry of microorganisms that could lead to a cold, for example.”

According to the alert, there may be pharyngitis, sinusitis, laryngitis and in more serious cases pneumonia may occur, especially in people who are immunosuppressed or who work in cold rooms and are then exposed to 40 degrees on the street. Fernández Villar also warns that poor maintenance of the air conditioning is also dangerous because when the device is in poor condition it can favor the proliferation of legionella, which causes many pneumonias.

About how distinguish a mild cold from a coldthe Emergency specialist asks to pay attention to the symptoms: “It is not the same as being at home due to changes in temperature after going outside, having an itchy throat or sneezing, than that itchy throat that remains in us for more than 24 hours or even more, and which is also accompanied by tenths of fever, and a yellowish-greenish mucus, which means that, apart from the cold itself, it has been superinfected with some bacteria.”
