Doctor warns: Fans at night can cause health issues

A doctor has cautioned against sleeping with a fan on overnight, citing potential health risks as warmer weather arrives. The expert warns of dry sinuses, sore muscles, and increased allergy symptoms. Dr. Naheed Ali explains that continuous fan use can dry out nasal passages and throats, leading to congestion. It can also stiffen muscles and circulate dust, aggravating asthma and allergies, especially in those with sensitivities. To mitigate these issues, the doctor recommends using a timer, directing airflow away from the bed, and keeping a glass of water nearby. Alternative cooling methods like a frozen hot water bottle are also suggested.
