18 Tips to Protect Kids in Autumn Season

Autumn season means back-to-school, fun in the neighborhood, trick-or-treating on Halloween, and amazing activities that kids look forward to with parents and family.

• Keep the surroundings clean and germ-free to decrease the chances of allergies and infections. Dust particles and pollens in the environment trigger allergies. Hence, cleanliness is the first and foremost step to protect kids during this fall. 

• While preparing for festivities during the fall season, clean the decorative items outside the house so that dust does not irritate or aggravate the allergy among kids.

                                                                                 

• Encourage kids to wash their hands with soap thoroughly and frequently. Washing hands before eating reduces the chances of the transfer of germs from hands to the food they eat. Also, wash hands when kids come back home, use the washroom, and after playtime.

 

• While sneezing or blowing out the nose, the germs are transmitted to the hands, and therefore, it is a must to get rid of the germs through hand washing. You can also use hand sanitizer.

• Throw away tissues used for sneezing in order to avoid spreading germs to kids and other family members.

• Pets and pet hair are other major reasons for allergies for kids. Keep your pets clean so that they do not create a health threat for your kids.

• Provide healthy foods to kids to keep up their immunity levels. Seasonal fruits like apples, guavas, pears, avocados, and pomegranates provide nutrients that are essential for the autumn season.
