How to avoid getting sick during rainy season?

The weather is predictably unpredictable. You never know when it is going to rain. Reduce the chances of your kids getting wet and falling sick by ensuring that they never leave the house without an umbrella or raincoat. Invest in waterproof shoes or rubber shoes. They provide traction and protect your children’s feet and ankles from getting wet. Also, they are easier to dry off. Avoid raw foods like salads wherever possible and wash the fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Make drinking a daily bowl of hot vegetable soup or herbal tea mandatory for your entire family which not only helps normalize their body temperature but also contains nutrients to boost their immunity. Empty unused tanks of stored water, water coolers, flower pots, etc. and clean them thoroughly. Ensure that there is no stagnant water either in your house or in your neighborhood. Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, parasites and anaerobic bacteria. It is the main cause of potent water-borne diseases such as Malaria and Dengue. While it is alright to let children play in the rain, do not allow them to play in or near puddles and water-logged areas which are essentially stagnant water reserves. Using mosquito repellents is of utmost importance during this season.
