Monsoon season brings with it a lot of moisture into the air which can affect children. Here are seven effective tips to prevent kids from getting infections in this rainy season.
Keep the surroundings clean, do not let water stagnate near the house or in pots, or drums. It reduces the risk of dengue and malaria.
Wear full-sleeved t-shirts with jeans or pants, which can easily cover the entire body to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.
Avoid eating street food or junk food that is prepared in outdoor spaces.
Parents must ensure the child eats a well-balanced diet that boosts immunity.
Make sure to take a shower after coming from outdoors especially during heavy rainfall, to wash off the germs.
Don't self-medicate when it comes to fever and cold. Take your child to the doctor for prompt medical attention before the symptoms worsen.
