🎒🦠 Back to School = Back to Germs! The new school year means new teachers, new friends, new routines… and unfortunately, more opportunities to share germs! 🤧 With children spending more time together in classrooms, cafeterias, playgrounds, and after-school activities, it's common to see an increase in colds and other contagious illnesses. Help your child build healthy habits for the school year: 🧼 Wash hands often — especially before eating and after using the restroom. 🤧 Cover coughs and sneezes — teach children to use a tissue or their elbow, not their hands. 🙌 Avoid touching the face — germs can easily enter through the eyes, nose, and mouth. 💧 Stay hydrated — send your child to school with a water bottle. 😴 Prioritize sleep — adequate rest supports your child's overall health and well-being. 🍎 Choose nutritious foods — balanced meals and snacks help support growing bodies. 🏠 Keep sick children home when appropriate — especially when they have a fever or symptoms that prevent them from comfortably participating in school. 💙 And remember: getting sick occasionally is a normal part of childhood. If your child's symptoms are persistent, worsening, or you're unsure whether they should return to school, contact your pediatrician. Let's start the school year with healthy habits! 📚✨ 🌐 suramedhealthcenter.com Hablamos Español
