When temperatures go
down, children need extra attention to stay warm and healthy. As we spend more
time inside the house through winters it also causes so many diseases like;
cold, cough, fever, dry skin etc. Here are some tips to protect your child when
the temperature goes down:
Make sure that your
child put several layers of clothing and their head, neck, hands and foot are
covered with woolen caps, gloves, scarves and socks. Dress young children in
one more layer than an adult would wear.
Use moisturizer to
protect from dry skin. It is important to protect your child’s sensitive skin from
dry skin by using moisturizer in the winter.
In extreme cold
weather restricts your child from outdoor play activities. Choose indoor games to
keep the children busy rather than watching TV all day long.
Serve nutritious food
which plays an important role in strengthening the immunity in our body. Green
leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, milk, guavas, tomatoes, melons, papayas etc should
be included in diet. Also offer dry fruits as they contained a lot of nutrition
and provide instant energy.
Prevent nosebleeds. If
your child suffers from winter nosebleeding, use a cold air humidifier in their
room. Saline nose drops can help keep their nose moist.
Keep your child
hydrated. Keep them hydrated by drinking warm drinks and serve hot soups like,
tomato, spinach, vegetables soup etc. for extra appeal.
