Garlic in a shirt pocket, oxolin ointment,vitamins, chemist's means for raising immunity - everything goes into action, if only the precious child was not caught by the autumn virus. Dr. Komarovsky has repeatedly told how to protect the health of the child. And in the midst of the cold season, he reminded how to protect the baby (and himself at the same time) from ARVI of all stripes. So, the 10 main rules. Fewer people - fewer viruses. Try to avoid crowded places. The concentration of viruses in the open air is thousands of times less than in any room, whether it is an apartment, a class in a school or a subway car. Think a hundred times: do you need to go there? 3. The closer to a person, the more likely to become infected. Keep your distance! 4. We saw (heard) a person with signs of ARVI (cough, sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose) - stay away from him as far as possible.

Pay special attention to door handles everywhere and handrails in public transport. 6. The chances of encountering a virus are especially high where there are a lot of sick people. In a children's clinic, for example. Do not forget that there are healthy child days there. 7. Viral particles remain active for hours and days in dusty, dry, warm and still air and die almost instantly in clean, cool, humid and moving air. Do not overheat! Humidify! Ventilate! 8. Optimal air parameters for living quarters: temperature from 16 to 22 ° C, relative humidity - from 40 to 70%. Create comfort within these limits. Cold? Get dressed! 9. Wash your hands. If not possible - use wet hygienic and disinfectant wipes. 10. Moisturize the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Put drops or aerosols based on saline solutions in your nose (the more people around, the more often). Rinse your mouth with plain water. You can make the simplest saline solution yourself: a teaspoon of salt per liter of boiled water. Let's add three valuable reminders to the ten main rules: - a mask does not protect against infection, a healthy person does not need to wear it - it is put on a sick person and thus slightly reduces his contagiousness; - there are no drugs that reduce the likelihood of ARVI; - the likelihood of ARVI is reduced by good nutrition, an active lifestyle, the opportunity to sleep, a smile and a good mood.
