Doctor Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Department of Pediatrics, Tam Anh General Hospital, Hanoi, said good resistance helps children fight diseases for comprehensive development.

Exercise regularly

Mothers should massage their children regularly to improve blood circulation.

Normally, children have better natural resistance because their bodies are used to harmful external agents.

Drink enough water

Breastfeeding babies under 6 months old provides enough water for the body.

Children drink enough water to balance body temperature and increase resistance.

Personal hygiene

Parents guide their children to maintain proper personal hygiene to avoid bacteria from entering the body.

Keep the living environment clean

A cool, clean, mold-free living environment limits the growth of disease-causing microorganisms.

Use antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor

Arbitrary use of antibiotics can weaken the natural immune barrier and cause antibiotic resistance.

Understand disease information clearly

In the summer, there are often acute diarrhea, respiratory infections, and hand, foot, and mouth diseases.

Supplement foods to increase resistance

Children’s diet needs all 4 groups of substances including protein, starch, fat, vitamins and minerals.

Children should eat fruits and vegetables that are green, red, yellow… contain many vitamins, increase resistance against free radicals, and prevent flu.

Get vaccinated

Vaccination provides antibodies or stimulates the body to produce antibodies, thereby creating immunity.
