What Role Does Hygiene Play in Preventing Infections?
Good hygiene practices are essential in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Children should be taught to:
- Wash their hands regularly with soap and water, especially before eating and after using the bathroom. - Use a tissue or elbow to cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. - Avoid sharing personal items like utensils, cups, and toothbrushes. - Keep their living and play areas clean.
