Typhoid and Hepatitis vaccines, among others, are extremely important as they keep the child protected from typhoid and hepatitis A caused by infected food and water. Similarly, do make it a point to ensure that the annual influenza vaccine isn\u2019t missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/facts-in-pictures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">WHO<\/mark><\/em><\/a><em> calls immunization one of the most effective health interventions available, preventing millions of childhood illnesses every year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Well-balanced_diet\"><\/span>2. Well-balanced diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Monsoon is as good a time as any other to ensure that the child follows a nutritious diet. With many diseases doing the rounds, ensure that the food and water the child takes in are hygienic. You must also avoid raw food as much as possible, as well as ensure that the child drinks boiled water. Make sure also that the child washes their hands before every meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to how to increase immunity in children lies in including&nbsp; immunity boosting foods such as tulsi leaves, ginger, turmeric, seasonal fresh fruits, and dry fruits in the diet. Probiotics in yogurt also help prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal diseases. Vitamin A-rich foods, especially those found in fruits and veggies, egg yolk, and more, are also good for building immunity. Pro-tip \u2013 Do ensure that the fruits are not cut and exposed before consumption. Hot beverages such as milk and vegetable soups also work well in this season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is some healthy food for children to aim for, as well as food that you need to limit in the monsoon season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>What to Give<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Why It Helps<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>What to Limit<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Warm home-cooked meals<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Easier to digest, safer than outside food<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Street food and chaat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Boiled or filtered water<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Prevents water-borne illness<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ice and outside drinks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Seasonal fresh fruit<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Vitamins that support immunity<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pre-cut fruit kept in the open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Curd and buttermilk<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Supports gut health<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Very cold dairy for young toddlers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Vegetable soups, dal water<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Warm fluids plus nutrition<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Excess fried snacks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tulsi, ginger, turmeric in cooking<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Traditional additions that soothe<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Raw salads from outside<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/parenting\/food-nutrition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">UNICEF&#8217;s<\/mark><\/a> food and nutrition guidance for parents emphasises that a varied, home-prepared diet does more for a child&#8217;s immunity than any single special food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-1-1024x577.webp\" alt=\"habits that keep monsoon illness away\" class=\"wp-image-9017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-1-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-1-768x433.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-1.webp 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Hydration\"><\/span>3. Hydration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Children need age\u2011appropriate amounts of fluids to stay healthy, especially in the monsoon season when infections are common. While toddlers generally need around 4 cups of fluids daily, preschoolers need about 5 cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offer warm fluids like clear soups, or warm water with honey and lemon (for children over 1 year) to soothe the throat and keep them comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will help to remind them to sip some water every few hours.. Keeping their favorite tumbler filled with water handy will make the job simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to watch out for signs of low fluid intake. These include dry lips, fewer wet diapers or toilet trips, dark urine, unusual tiredness, or irritability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Exercise\"><\/span>4.

Do ensure that the children get enough of it. If the weather does not permit outdoor activity, do some jumping, skipping, or other physical activities indoors to keep them healthy and active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Keep_surroundings_clean\"><\/span>5. Keep surroundings clean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since stagnant water spreads <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">common monsoon diseases in childre<\/mark>n such as malaria and dengue, it is important to keep surrounding areas clean. Make sure that you watch out for potential culprit areas such as water coolers, plants, and more where water can collect unnoticed. A quick daily check and cleanup can go a long way in protecting children from the threat of diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Right_clothes\"><\/span>6. Right clothes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During this season, it is important to choose clothes that do not retain moisture. With fungal infections on the rise, wet clothes and shoes must be kept dry outside. You also need to be careful about any growth of germs on carpets, curtains, and more. Children must be asked to wash their feet properly with lukewarm water once they come from outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, remember that the child should wear long-sleeved clothing this season so that there is minimal exposed area prone to mosquito bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-2-1024x577.webp\" alt=\"habits that keep monsoon illness away\" class=\"wp-image-9018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-2-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-2-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-2-768x433.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-2.webp 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Keep_distance_from_anyone_unwell\"><\/span>7. Keep distance from anyone unwell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since monsoons are a period when diseases thrive, as far as possible, ensure that the child does not come in close contact with anyone who is sick. If someone at home is unwell, you need to take proper care to ensure that the place is kept clean and that infection-causing germs do not spread from one to the other. Body fluids, especially, transmit germs; you, therefore, need to ensure that the child is protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Mosquito_Net\"><\/span>8. Mosquito Net<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Protecting children from mosquito bites is one of the most effective ways to prevent monsoon diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. Nets and repellents are simple and powerful tools when used correctly. Remember to use mosquito nets both during nap times and at night. When using repellents, especially on younger children, make sure you check the product label and also follow your paediatrician\u2019s advice. Installing window and door screens to reduce mosquitoes is prudent. Due care needs to be taken to keep them clean and intact as even small tears are enough to let mosquitoes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-3-1024x577.webp\" alt=\"habits that keep monsoon illness away\" class=\"wp-image-9019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-3-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-3-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-3-768x433.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-habits-that-keep-monsoon-illness-away-3.webp 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_should_a_toddler_eat_during_monsoon_to_stay_healthy\"><\/span>1.
