1. Few Babies Go Out During the Influenza Period
From the first two days of influenza virus infection to the third day after illness, the virus is the most infectious. The younger the baby, the more likely it is to catch cold germs. Therefore, during the influenza epidemic period, do not take your baby out, visit doors, especially in crowded public places. When someone in the family has a cold, attention should be paid to isolation, to avoid or reduce direct contact with the baby.
2. The whole family should wash their hands frequently.
The cold virus survives for one hour on the handkerchief and 70 hours on the hand. Babies like to touch everywhere. There are many chances for their hands to catch germs. Adults live in large circles and have more pathogenic microorganisms on their hands. They are easy to take pathogens home and eat them through their baby’s contaminated hands, which can cause upper respiratory tract infections.
Develop good hygienic habits for babies, especially washing hands before and after meals. Adults should wash their hands before going home or holding their babies to reduce the risk of infection.
TIPS: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends washing hands in about 20 seconds.
3. Encourage babies to drink more boiled water
Drinking more water to keep the oral mucosa moist can effectively resist colds. Drinking water can also enhance the body’s metabolism, with the effect of preventing and treating colds.
TIPS: Give your baby plenty of boiled water instead of all kinds of sugary drinks.
