(Baonghean.vn) - Prolonged hot weather makes children susceptible to heatstroke, heat shock... The reason why children suffer from these health problems is the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. Below are 8 things parents need to do to maintain their children's health during these hot days.
 |
| Avoid letting children get heat shock from sitting in a cool air-conditioned room and then moving to a hot area. If the air conditioner is on in the house, let the children get used to the lower temperature or turn off the air conditioner before going out in the sun, keep the children sitting in the room for a few minutes after turning off the air conditioner to avoid heat shock, especially for children with poor health, poor physical condition, low blood pressure... |
 |
| Do not leave children alone in a car in hot weather, because they may go out to play or get heatstroke due to the high temperature outside shining into the car. |
 |
| When going out in the sun, you should wear a wide-brimmed hat and dress your child in cool, sweat-absorbent cotton clothing. Do not wrap your child in too thick a blanket or cover him/her with too many towels, diapers, etc. |
 |
| Be proactive in giving your baby water regularly, don't wait until he is thirsty. |
 |
| Do not let children practice or do physical activities at high intensity for a long time in hot weather right from the beginning without a process to help them gradually adapt. |
 |
| If you have to travel in hot weather, you need to cover yourself from the sun. If you have to travel far, you need to stop in a cool place, take off some clothes and fan yourself, wash your face, give your child water to drink, rest before continuing. |
 |
| No matter how active your child is, you should not let them go outside during the hottest time of the day, around 11am-3pm. If possible, let your child play in the shade, away from places with strong reflected light such as sand, glass, mirrors, etc. |
 |
| Feed your child lots of green vegetables and fruits such as squash, bitter melon, cucumber, pumpkin, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. to help replenish the body's water supply and effectively prevent heatstroke. |
