4 Ways to Prevent Children from Easily Coughing and Sneezing During Bad Pollution

"Dream - Air pollution in Jakarta is currently uncontrolled. The level is very unhealthy and poses risks to health, especially for children whose immune systems have not fully developed. One of the effects of pollution is cough and cold symptoms. Is your child experiencing them?"

According to the Ministry of Health, cases of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI) in Jakarta have increased significantly in recent weeks. This condition is certainly very concerning. Children not only experience coughs and colds, but also difficulty breathing.

Some children with a history of asthma even need steam therapy because their condition is tight. High levels of pollution make these tight attacks more frequent. It is important for Father and Mother to take preventive measures starting from home.

We may not be able to handle pollution on our own, but it is important to reduce its negative effects, especially on children. How can we do it? Make sure to follow these four steps.

Wear a mask

The habit during a pandemic is that wearing a mask should preferably be resumed. Ask your child to always wear a mask when going out of the house. Especially when traveling to and from school. Smoke from motor vehicles, including pollution, often triggers coughs and colds.

"Increase Nutritional Intake"

Quoted from KlikDokter, balanced nutrition with a diet rich in antioxidants can help improve children's immune system, helping them fight the harmful effects of air pollution.

"Drink Sufficient Water"

Make sure children drink enough water throughout the day. Water helps keep the respiratory tract mucus thin and facilitates the breathing process. Avoid sweet drinks rich in sugar. It is better to drink plain water or fresh fruit juice.

"Monitor Air Quality"

It is important to always monitor air quality. Especially if you plan to take your child to an area with very high levels of air pollution. If you really have to go to that place, it is best not to bring children.

"Avoid Crowds"

Centers of activity tend to have very high levels of pollution. Therefore, avoid bringing children to crowded places, especially in outdoor areas. With poor air quality, many people, children in particular, are at a high risk of experiencing coughs, colds, and even difficulty breathing.
