5. Preventing Croup
Proper handwashing technique is essential, even in very young children. To avoid the spread of croup and other illnesses, a baby's hands need frequent washing, and toddlers and older children must learn to wash their hands. Parents must also discourage children from sharing cups and dishes.
Parents should keep their children at home and away from other children if they are feeling ill.1‘Croup in Children.’ Cedars, www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions—pediatrics/c/croup-in-children.html. The viruses that cause croup are highly contagious during the first few days of symptoms.2‘Home Treatments For Croup That Will Help Your Child’s Barking Cough.’ University of Utah Health, healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/shows.php’shows=0/bo3b8lay.
