Tips To Prevent Viral Infection In Kids
People of all age groups get viral infections, but often kids are more prone to get infected. Therefore, it is better to know the different ways to prevent viral infections in kids.
Once the virus gets into your body, your immune system develops some natural mechanisms to destroy the virus. But in children, as the immune system is still in the developing stage, they will not be as strong as older people. That is why viral infections in kids are more common and frequent.
5 Most Common Diseases In Childre
Chicken pox, measles, mumps, viral pneumonia, HIV, and polio are some of the viral infections seen in kids. Cold with sore throat, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea are the common symptoms of viral infections in kids depending on the type of infection.
Usually, kids get viral infections through contact with infected fluids or secretion found on the toys, doorknobs, telephones, handrails or tables. When kids touch an infected object and if he rubs his nose or eyes, chances are more that he will get viral infections. Also, viral infections can spread through air, water, food, insect or animal bites.
Now, let us discuss some of the ways to prevent viral infections in kids.
Washing
Hands
Hand
washing
for
20
seconds
with
or
without
an
antibacterial
soap
is
one
of
the
most
important
ways
to
prevent
viral
infections
in
kids.
This
will
prevent
the
germs
from
spreading.
Make
sure
that
the
kids
wash
their
hands
properly
before
and
after
eating
and
as
well
as
after
using
the
toilet.
Practice Suitable Diaper Hygiene
Always be careful and cautious while changing diapers in kids. The changing table acts as the spot where the germs get exchanged among kids. Always lay a blanket or plastic sheet over the changing table before using it to prevent viral infections in kids.
Is Your Child Going For A Doctor's Appointment
Keep
Breastfeeding
Most
of
the
women
tend
not
to
breastfeed
their
baby
when
they
are
suffering
from
cold
or
fever.
But,
actually
by
breastfeeding
you
are
passing
the
antibodies
to
the
child,
thereby
preventing
your
baby
from
getting
sick.
So,
keep
breastfeeding
when
you
have
viral
infections
as
it
helps
to
improve
the
immune
system
of
your
child.
Safety
Precautions
Teach
your
child
to
cover
their
mouth
while
sneezing
or
coughing
to
prevent
the
spread
of
infections.
Never
allow
your
kid
to
share
meals,
drinks,
tissues,
handkerchiefs
and
bath
towels
with
infected
people.
Make
it
a
habit
to
throw
used
tissues
immediately
into
the
dustbin
to
prevent
the
germs
from
spreading.
Disinfect
Rooms
And
Bathrooms
When
you
have
kids,
disinfecting
your
house
more
frequently
can
definitely
prevent
the
germs
from
spreading.
Always
clean
your
house,
particularly
bathrooms,
with
good
disinfectants.
Wipe
all
the
things
that
your
kid
touches,
from
toys
to
doorknobs,
with
a
disinfectant
to
prevent
viral
infections.
Quarantine
Your
Kid
It
is
not
an
easy
and
good
practice
to
keep
your
kid
quarantined
for
2-3
days
when
someone
in
your
house
is
sick.
But,
it
is
necessary
to
quarantine
the
sick
person
so
that
your
child
does
not
get
infected.
Also,
try
to
make
your
kid
play
in
his
room
for
longer
periods
and
not
take
him
to
crowded
places
during
flu
season.
An effort to take some simple precautions against viral infections will keep your kids healthy.
