Medicine:Hajj Cough
From HandWiki
Hajj cough refers to a highly common respiratory tract infection affecting the Hajj pilgrims arising due to crowded conditions within a confined area in close contact with others leading to a high risk of pilgrims acquiring and spreading infectious diseases during their time spent to pilgrimage.[1] It is considered almost de rigueur among the pilgrims.[2]
