Diseases that come with the school term
Understanding School Term Diseases with Chula Pharmacy
As the new semester begins, parents often face the challenge of their children falling sick. This is especially common among younger children who spend time together in close quarters, making it easy for illnesses to spread. While this might seem normal to some, it's essential to prevent the spread of infections to avoid outbreaks.
Common Contagious Diseases
Preventive Measures and Hygiene Practices
Teaching children good hygiene habits is crucial in preventing these diseases. Parents should encourage:
If a child feels sick, parents should keep them home to recover and prevent spreading the infection.
Impact on Elderly Family Members
Elderly family members, especially those with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, lung disease, or obesity, have lower immunity and are at higher risk of severe complications from infections. When school-age children are sick, they should be kept away from elderly relatives until they recover. Elderly individuals should also receive preventive vaccines, such as for influenza, pneumonia, and chickenpox, to reduce their risk of infection.
By following these guidelines, parents can help protect their children and other family members from the spread of infectious diseases during the school term.
