Question
Recently, many children have shown symptoms of colds in the community. For families with a one-year-old child, what measures should be taken to prevent colds?
Answer
Children who frequently participate in outdoor activities have a relatively lower incidence of colds. Outdoor activities not only provide more opportunities for children to exercise but also fresh outdoor air helps reduce the occurrence of diseases. It is recommended to maintain good air circulation in the bedroom, and sleeping with the window open has three benefits: keeping the bedroom air fresh; through air convection, eliminating indoor bacteria; and as the cold air gradually enters the room at night, it can enhance children’s ability to adapt to cold environments, thereby preventing colds.
