According to the World Health Organizations’ report, Children are going to be the worst hit by the third wave of Coronavirus, primarily due to the non-availability of vaccines and medicines for children. However, I believe the kids are as prone to this life-threatening disease as to any other virus prevailing in India.
Listening to WHOs report, parents are curious and want to find ways to keep their children safe and healthy, and rightly so. I believe to exponentially reduce the impact of COVID-19 on children, parents can leverage a few home remedies. Of course, social distancing and hygiene are the most important points to cover, but there are other key points to keep in mind while preparing your children for the third wave.
Let’s see how you as parents can take care of your children in this need of the hour and reduce the effect of COVID-19 on your child’s health.
Post-COVID Care for Children
- Daily Care
Please keep in mind that children have a tendency to do the exact opposite of what you tell them to follow. Hence, show your kids the importance of washing hands daily, covering the mouth when sneezing or coughing, and eating healthy supplements to boost the immune system. Once they notice you follow your own instructions they will instantly start following you.
- Fumigate your Abode with Camphor & Dhoop
Camphor and dhoop naturally eliminate bacteria, germs, and viruses allowing you to live in a clean and healthy environment. Fumigate your house with camphor and dhoop to stay in a corona-free environment curbing the impact of COVID-19 on children.
