Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Minister of Health and Population, made several suggestions to parents to protect their children from respiratory virus infection during the winter season, coinciding with the spread of syncytial virus.
According to an educational leaflet posted by the ministry’s official Twitter page on Wednesday, he must:
– Wash your hands often
– Continuous cleaning of surfaces
Ventilate the rooms well
Don’t kiss the children at these times
– Strengthen immunity by drinking liquids and eating immunity-boosting foods
Eat fruits that contain vitamin C
The minister indicated that in case breathing difficulties are noticed or the appearance of any symptoms on the child, he must be taken to hospital immediately.
In case the child is confirmed to be infected with the virus, it should be prevented from mixing with other children in the home or daycare to protect them from infection.
