Good Advice in Times of Cold
Colds are the most common infection in children. Children are affected more often than adults because their immune system is not fully developed.
Cooling did not cause
Previously it was believed that cold was due to cold, hence the name, but today we know that this is not true. The reason that so many get sick in winter is rather that we are indoors more.
Relieves nasal drops
Unfortunately there is no cure yet, but you can reduce colds with nose drops. It is important to have plenty of fluids during a cold. Besides colds, a child can cough, sore throat and fever. The fever is not dangerous, but the body’s way of defense, medicine against fever is therefore necessary only if the child is strongly influenced. A normal cold persists for one to two weeks.
Tips
There are a few tips that will help to prevent colds:
* Teach children to sneeze into a tissue or the crook of your arm instead of straight out.
* Try to teach your child not to poke their nose or eyes.
* Wash your hands and the child’s hands several times a day, especially before and after meals.
* Try to avoid shaking hands or direct contact with someone who has a cold, or wash your hands afterwards.
* Let the child stay home from kindergarten one or two days at the beginning of the cold, when infectivity is greatest.
* Take out as much as possible, even in winter.
* Avoid smoky environments.
