The abrupt drop in temperature, increased humidity, and stagnant water during the monsoon season can cause a variety of health issues, including malaria, dengue, dehydration, typhoid, chikungunya, gastroenteritis, cholera, leptospirosis, and jaundice. Children are also negatively impacted. High temperature, excruciating physical ache, rashes, vomiting, and abdominal pain are among these disorders’ typical indications and symptoms, according to medical professionals.
Parents should heed the following safety advice without fail:
1. Maintain a clean and mosquito-free environment: Make sure there isn’t any standing water close to the house. To combat mosquitoes, fog frequently. When it comes to flower pots, buckets, and abandoned tires, routinely scan your surroundings for any standing water and clear it up right away. When you have kids at home, close the windows at night because there may be an increased danger of mosquito bites. When sleeping at home with children, try to use mosquito netting. By doing this, you can protect yourself from malaria and dengue.
2. Apply insect repellents to prevent mosquitoes from biting youngsters. Before using any repellent, it will be a good idea to consult an expert. To avoid contracting leptospirosis, avoid wading through floodwaters.
3. Dress your kids appropriately: Choosing light, loose-fitting clothing with full sleeves will offer some protection while also guaranteeing comfort. Limit your kids’ outside activities.
4. Maintain cleanliness at home: To avoid allergens and make sure the child stays healthy, parents should routinely wash and replace blankets, bed sheets, and other household objects.
5. Practice proper hand hygiene: Before eating, after getting home from school, or before touching anything, the child should wash his or her hands.
6. Make sure the child eats well. The child should be encouraged to eat foods high in vitamin C, such as oranges, kiwis, lemons, strawberries, cabbage, cauliflower, and tomatoes, as well as other foods rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
