The cold wind of winter is knocking on the door. Cold diseases affect children more during this time. Taking some precautions can prevent the spread of germs and keep the winter season safe for them.
Things to be followed for this:
Handwashing Habit: Children should try to develop a habit of washing hands regularly, be it winter or summer—anytime. Especially after returning home from outside and before eating anything. This practice prevents germs from entering the body and keeps many diseases at bay.
Etymology of the Sneeze-Cough: Children should be taught to cover their mouths when sneezing or coughing and to use tissues or arms instead of hands. It cannot spread germs in the environment.
Clothing: Wash children’s clothes and school clothes after each use, and change their bed pillow covers and sheets frequently. Keep separate towels for them. Apart from this, make sure that children do not have wet clothes on their bodies.
Diet: Many people drink insufficient water in cold weather. In that case, make sure that your child is drinking enough water. Try to keep foods that are nutritious, vitamin-rich, and keep the body warm on the daily food list, which will help boost the immunity of children.
Keeping away from sick people: If anyone in the house is sick with a cold, try to keep children away from them. Similarly, if the child has a fever and cough, it is better not to send him to school.
Caution with a toothbrush: If someone in the house is sick, keep their toothbrush separate. Also, change children’s toothbrushes frequently.
Things to do when going out: Choose clothes that are comfortable for children. As babies have sensitive skin, soft and high-quality woolen fabrics may be suitable. Wear socks, hats, and gloves when going outside.
Also, remind children not to touch their faces when going outside. Be especially careful after touching public spaces (bus seats, door handles, and public bathrooms). When taking children out in the sun, apply sunscreen to the exposed parts of their bodies.
