Spring has arrived, bringing with it the need to prepare for the viral infections that often become active during this season.
From early March to the start of summer, temperature fluctuations can impact a child`s immune system. When the immune system is compromised, the risk of contracting viral infections significantly increases.
Common spring viruses include the influenza virus, which can lead to symptoms such as high fever, cough, nausea, sore throat, headaches, and joint pain. So how can we prepare our children to fend off these viruses, and what can we do to alleviate their symptoms if they do get sick?
The first and most important step in preventing viral infections is to support your child`s immune system. Focus on nutrition by providing foods rich in vitamins and minerals.
Additionally, encourage physical activity, as staying active is crucial for a child`s health. Make sure they spend time outdoors, swim, play, and engage in various forms of exercise. By taking these steps, you can help bolster your child’s immunity and reduce the likelihood of illness this spring.
