Patient's question:
Recently, there have been many children in my neighborhood with colds. I have a one-year-old baby at home. How should I prevent him from catching a cold?Doctor's answer:
Children who frequently participate in outdoor activities have a significantly lower risk of catching colds compared to those who engage in less outdoor activities. Outdoor activities provide children with more opportunities for exercise. Fresh air outdoors can reduce the chances of getting sick. Sleeping with windows open offers three benefits: maintaining fresh and circulating air in the bedroom; promptly removing indoor bacteria through air convection; and gradually adapting children to the cold environment at night, which helps prevent colds.
