Dengue and malaria cases are increasing rapidly across the country. The risk of these diseases increases with the changing weather. These diseases spread by mosquito bites can prove to be very dangerous for children. Therefore, it is very important for every parent to know how to keep their child safe from these diseases.

Due to the weak immunity of children, they can easily fall prey to these diseases. Here we are telling you four important things that every parent must know to avoid the outbreak of dengue and malaria.

1. Protect yourself from mosquitoes

Dengue and malaria are spread by mosquito bites. Therefore, it is most important to protect children from mosquitoes. Use mosquito nets on all the windows and doors of the house. Put mosquito nets around the bed of children while sleeping. Apart from this, always make children wear full-sleeved clothes, so that their skin does not come in direct contact with mosquitoes. Also use mosquito repellent creams and liquids, but keep in mind that before applying these products on children's skin, definitely consult a doctor.

2. Avoid stagnant water

Mosquitoes often breed in stagnant water. So do not allow water to accumulate anywhere around or inside the house. Accumulation of water in water tanks, coolers, pots and containers etc. can cause mosquito breeding. Take special care of water cleanliness and regularly empty and clean places where water can stagnate.

3. Increase healthy diet and immunity

To protect children from dengue and malaria, it is very important to strengthen their immunity. For this, give them a balanced diet which includes fruits, vegetables and protein. Things rich in vitamin C like orange, lemon, amla etc. boost the immunity of their body.

4. Do not take fever lightly

If your child has fever, do not take it lightly. The early symptoms of dengue and malaria include high fever, body ache, headache and fatigue. If you notice these symptoms, contact a doctor immediately and get the necessary tests done.
