It’s fall and that means the sniffle are on the way as well. However, there are some things you can do to help prevent coughing and sneezing.

Powell Pediatrics Recommends

According to Powell Pediatrics keeping your kids warm and safe takes effort, especially when you consider you won’t be around them all of the time.

Boys and girls will take off hats, gloves and coats the minute they get on the bus or on the playground. Try to make an impression and let them know that if they don’t stay bundled up they will get sick.

Other ways you can protect your family this fall and winter includes keeping nutritious snacks in the fridge and pantry while stressing the importance of hand washing and keeping hands away from the face.

You can keep your home a safe haven by sanitizing everything from door knobs to countertops as well.
