Seasonal fever and cold

Seasonal fever and cold is very common, specially for kids. As the kids can’t take care of themselves, virus and bacteria can easily attack them.

When there is season change, people suffer from various diseases. Fever and cold is major among all. My son is suffering from strong cold from yesterday and today added fever with it. I am giving him medicine as per doctor advice.

If we take some precautions, we can reduce the frequency of these diseases. Let’s have some ideas.

Ways to Help Prevent Colds and Flus as per https://www.tylenol.ca are given below-

Colds and flus are brought on by viruses. The best way to avoid these viruses is to prevent your family from coming into contact with them in the first place, and from spreading them to each other.

It’s important that your entire family follow these simple rules:

Avoid contact with people who are sick. If you work outside the home or if your children go to school or daycare, this may be difficult to do; however, you can ask people to not visit your home if they have a cold or flu.

Follow this proper hand-washing technique. This is the simplest and most effective way to prevent infecting yourself and others.

Use warm water and soap.

Briskly rub your hands together for 15 to 20 seconds.
Wash in between your fingers, around your nails and the back of your hands.

To prevent germs and viruses from spreading or entering your system (or someone else’s), wash up after you shake hands with someone who is sick, take out the garbage, pet animals, change a diaper or use the bathroom.

Also wash your hands after you blow your nose or sneeze or cough into your hands. Wash your hands before you eat or prepare a meal or snack, treat a wound or put in contact lenses.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Teach your children that this is a common way for a virus to enter your body from your hands.

Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing. If you don’t have a tissue within reach, sneeze or cough into your folded elbow rather than on your hands.

When someone in your household is sick:

Use separate towels.

Use separate drinking cups and utensils.

Ensure dishes are washed well with soap in hot water.
