53 How To Protect Yourself From Transmission Of Colds

To reduce transmission of chilly viruses we must follow basic hygiene habits. One of the most important ways is to wash hands often and thoroughly. Washing hands after passing food and touching your mouth or eyes can transfer germs. Moreover, if you sneeze or blow your nose, chances of infecting yourself increases manifold. Always wash your hands well with soap before eating or handling food items.

Washing hands with soap and water and drying them thoroughly thoroughly is one of the effective ways to protect us from transmission of colds. There are certain situations where your kids are prone to getting cold easily. These include:

1. Hot weather- Many children get colds at night when the weather is too hot. So always wear plenty of clothes. When playing, ensure that both parents wear appropriate layers so as to provide warmth.

2. Dusty air- Frequent dustings, especially during winter, can cause severe cold. Keeping indoor spaces clean and disinfected is advisable. Use sanitisers to wipe down surfaces regularly. Try to wipe your children’s hands frequently.

3. Cold storage- Poorly stored food and drinks are known to cause cold. Such things can reduce immunity. Food and beverages to give to infants need to meet certain guidelines. Do not forget to refrigerate them properly.

4. Bad habits- Smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol can directly contribute to colds. Be careful about smoking and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Wash your hands regularly.

5. Neglectful care - Children and teenagers who live with adults need ample attention by them. While taking their medicines, eat them by themselves when not supervised. Similarly, avoid sharing of utensils and towels among families.

6. Exposure- Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should always be extra vigilant about their health. Practice hygiene as mentioned above.

7. Age- The elderly need special consideration during childhood. They don’t have enough immunity. Hence, they tend to suffer severely due to poor nutrition. Their immune system declines rapidly. Therefore, it is advised to limit their intake of unhealthy foods.

8. Environment- Children exposed to loud noises may develop ear infections. Noise-canceling headphones could be beneficial for reducing noise exposure during play sessions or lessons.

9. Environmental pollutants- During summer, some pets may suffer from sudden death syndrome due to heat stroke. People should be extra cautious about this. Cleaning up animals' habitats can prevent accidental deaths and bring relief.

10. Sickness - Some patients require close monitoring for early diagnosis and treatment. Parents should refrain from unnecessary visits to hospitals.

11. Lack of exercise - Due to their age, adults should be more patient and consider the same in children. Too much enthusiasm to engage in sports with friends and children and spending too much time outdoors cause low oxygen levels, leading to severe ailments. Regular exercises keep the immune system fit and active, thus improving its efficiency.

12. Stress- Poor feeding habits, frequent sickness and frequent usage of antibiotics can weaken the immune system. Kids don’t have immunity against various illnesses in the absence of regular daily food. Even a cold can affect their minds negatively. Instead, seek help from medical experts when suffering from any kind of ailment.

13. Eating disorders- Medication prescribed for psychiatric issues, such as antidepressants, anxiety disorder, and insomnia can lower the effectiveness of immunization. Seek expert advice before starting medication for such diseases.

14. Obesity - Consuming fatty food, sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, and junk foods can harm the body, increasing susceptibility toward infections. Eat balanced meals instead of sugary ones to promote good health.

15. Chemicals in drugs- Chemicals in medications like barbiturates and paracetamol and anti-infective drugs like azithromycin can damage human cells and trigger allergic reactions. Avoid drug interactions,

including those containing aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen sodium, phenobarbital, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, cimetidine, diphenhydramine, amoxapine (Lemtrexa).

16. Alcohol consumption - Drinking wine every day is associated with increased risks of coronary artery disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia, and osteoporosis. Ex

With all these instructions, Protect yourself from infectious disease in 2023. Safeguard your health from any kind of viruses! Stay healthy. J
