Children get colds all year round, and even in the summer, due to the enteroviruses to which they are susceptible.

When children become infected with them, these viruses cause upper respiratory symptoms, including a runny nose and sore throat, as well as stomach problems.

A report published by the Baby Doppler website provided a set of tips that help protect children from colds in the winter, including:

cleaning hands
Experts advised washing hands well with soap and water, before touching children or when serving food to them, and also when changing their diapers, in order to eliminate any germs that may be present on the hands.

hand sanitizer
It is preferable to use it especially if you are with your child outside the house, and it can also be used for children when they are on summer trips.

air conditioner
Despite the great benefit of the air conditioner in reducing temperatures, it may cause the children’s body to dry out, which may prevent the formation of mucus. While the mucus must be cleaned from the child’s nose, to prevent the spread of germs, it picks up germs, so you can remove them.

Experts also warned against the air circulation process that air conditioners do, which keeps germs in the same place.

Avoid sick
You should stay away from sick family members and not sit children next to them, keeping a distance between them until they feel better because children are more susceptible to infection with viruses.
