Holi 2024: Holi is a festival of colours. On this day happiness is celebrated by coloring each other with water, colors and gulal. In many places, Holi is also played with mud and cow dung etc. Although this festival is full of fun and excitement, sometimes due to color, water or chemicals getting into the delicate parts of the body, the condition worsens and people have to run to the hospital. Some people deliberately throw colored spray, foam spray, color and water filled balloons etc. on people’s ears, nose or mouth, due to which many problems occur in throat, ears and nose. However, if you do just 4 things in advance on Holi, then you can play Holi without any worries and your hair will not be in a mess.

Dr. Sudhir Majhi of ENT at RML Hospital, New Delhi says that ENT problems increase after Holi. Water in the ears, dry gulal in the nose and throat cause problems like allergy, ear infection, running ears, throat infection etc. Therefore, make yourself bullet proof in advance.
ear plugs- If you are going to play Holi then wear ear plugs. Be it a spray or a balloon. By doing this, color, gulal etc. will not go inside the ears. Also, the noise on Holi will not harm your ears.
mask- Often people try to paint their faces on Holi. For this, it is better that you play Holi wearing a mask. You can also wear full face masks with elephant, lion, devil or characters available in the markets, or you can wear an N95 mask. Due to this, even if the gulal flies, it will not enter your nose and mouth.
Nasal drops- You can protect yourself with saline nasal drops that are put in the nose of children. Before leaving the house for Holi, put saline or liquid paraffin nasal drops. This drop will create a protective layer in your nose and no allergic thing will be able to cause runny nose or infection in your nose.
Gargle- Before going to play Holi, gargle with lukewarm water mixed with Betadine. By doing this a protective layer will be formed in your throat. Even if you inhale the flying gulal, there will be no problem in the throat. Throat will not dry out. Or even if water or color gets into the throat, there will be no harm. You can gargle even after coming back from playing Holi. This is even better.
Dr. Majhi says that by doing this you will be safe. Your nose, ears and throat will not face any problem due to Holi. You can also do this for the safety of your children.
