For parents the monsoon season means getting ready to safeguard your children from getting sick. Children are very susceptible and prone to catching ill quickly during this season and so we have prepared a list of preventative measures parents can follow to keep their kids protected and healthy:
Send your children to school in proper attire. Ensure that you have sent them in the right attire and monsoon gear – raincoats, umbrella, rain-boots are a must for children. They will not get caught off guard in the rain or exposed to the dirty rain water from the streets that are probably infected with bacteria or other such things.
Cover or empty all containers. Mosquitoes that breed in still water are the cause for many diseases such as dengue and malaria. This is the reason you should be careful and empty out all unnecessary containers around your home.
Surroundings should be kept clean during the rainy weather. Small little rodents and insects look for shelter to escape the rain, so it’s very important that your home is extra clean as-well as your surroundings. Because these little critters are known to spread diseases and you don’t want them running around your house and causing harm to your children.
Clean drinking water. Children need to drink clean water as water borne diseases such as cholera and diarrhea are caused from drinking contaminated water. Ensure that your children drink safe and clean water to prevent them getting infected and stay hydrated.
Proper hand wash. You have to educate your children about the proper ways to wash their hands to safeguard them against viral infections from germs transmitted by contact of infected surfaces or people.
Seek a doctor’s advice on vaccination. Take proper medical consultation and seek a doctor’s opinion on the correct vaccinations to increase their immune system to fight against common illnesses.
Eat healthy and nutritious food. Give your kids a proper balanced and healthy meal to strengthen their immune system. Your children will be protected from the monsoon ills if they have strong immune systems. Ensure that they eat healthy food such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and meats.
