How can I keep my child healthy at school during the winter?

Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:Teaching your child the importance of frequent and proper hand hygiene is probably the best way to keep him or her healthy at school. It’s also important to teach children to cover their mouths when they cough. We also recommend a seasonal flu vaccine for all school aged children. Lastly, when your child does feel sick, especially when the child has a fever, help out the other kids at the school by keeping him or her at home.

Dr. Diana Blythe of Pediatric Associates answered:Keeping your child healthy during the winter is just like keeping your child healthy during the rest of the year. Good hand-washing and covering their mouths when they cough are very important, but do not forget regular healthy habits. Good nutrition and good sleep hygiene play an important part in keeping kids healthy. In addition, please consider the flu vaccine during flu season.
