Infectious disease doctor Gleb Glebov spoke about preventive rules that will help parents to protect their child from coronavirus. First of all, in his opinion, adults should show by their example the necessity of obligatory hand washing and wearing masks.
“Remind the children again to wash their hands, or give them an antiseptic. Talk to your children with respect, children feel the truth. Set the right example, wear masks! Children are better off wearing disposable masks. Explain that if it becomes difficult to breathe in the mask, you do not need to be afraid, you can take it off for a while, even if the child is in a crowded place. No disposable gloves for children! ” – said the doctor.
In addition, the specialist asked the children to refrain from visiting their grandparents. This is because the younger generation can be contagious for 11 days, even if they are asymptomatic.
He also stated that it is necessary to limit the time of kissing and hugging. The infection may appear and disappear within 3-4 days. The physician advised the parents to avoid taking medications.
“If the disease manifests itself, then it usually goes away in 3-4 days with a temperature in the range of 37-37.5C. In this case, taking any medications is unreasonable. Treatment is the same as for a regular ARVI, but no immunostimulants! ” – noted Gleb Glebov.
The doctor also noted the importance of ventilating the school premises. According to him, teachers need to keep a distance, turn on a quartz lamp during recess and beware of touching the face after checking school notebooks.
