As a tripledemic of flu, RSV, and norovirus strikes during cold and flu season, parents are urged to enhance preventative measures for their kids. Schools and daycares facilitate virus spread among children, who are more susceptible due to developing immune systems. Dr. Maja Castillo recommends vigilant monitoring of symptoms and highlights the importance of hygiene practices like handwashing, teaching proper cough etiquette, and disinfecting surfaces. Parents should also keep sick children at home, especially during the contagious phase, to safeguard others. Recognizing the importance of timely medical intervention for severe symptoms is crucial for children's health.
The tripledemic is challenging because these viruses can spread quickly in schools and daycares where kids are in close contact.
Simple steps like frequent handwashing with soap, teaching kids to cover their coughs and sneezes, and disinfecting surfaces can help reduce virus spread.
