Children can get sick quite often, since they do not have a strong immune system.

Therefore, the task of parents is to minimize the likelihood of developing a cold.

What secrets will help with this?

The child should dress according to the weather.

Some parents are too concerned about hypothermia, causing their child to dress too warmly. This is wrong.

To prevent children from getting sick, they should dress strictly according to the weather.

Vitamin C

There is no need to "stuff" your child with synthetic vitamins if there is an excellent opportunity to get the necessary nutrients through food.

A strong immune system requires mainly vitamin C. This means that citrus fruits, berries, cabbage and other healthy foods should be included in a child’s menu on a regular basis, experts say.

Personal hygiene

It is reasonable to teach a child hygiene from an early age, as it is an important and useful habit. Remind children that hand washing is an important and necessary "ritual".

Fresh air

Don't be afraid of walks in the fresh air in autumn: they are very useful for the general health of the body. Therefore, try to send your child for a walk every day for at least one hour.

Don't ignore your child's condition

If you notice the first signs of a cold, it is more reasonable to start eliminating them immediately. The sooner you start treatment, the higher the chances of avoiding complications.
