Pneumonia: take care of your children's respiratory health through prevention and quick actions.

Pneumonia, an infection affecting both children and adults, manifests with symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. Ensuring the lung health of your children requires key preventive measures.

Protective vaccines: barrier against respiratory infections

Keep your children up to date with essential vaccines, such as the pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. These provide significant defense against respiratory infections that could lead to pneumonia. Prevention begins with strong protection.

Effective hygiene: germ reduction

Teaching and reinforcing hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, is an effective strategy to reduce the spread of germs. Incorporate these habits into daily routines to strengthen your children's defenses.

Healthy environment: smoke-free

Maintain a smoke-free home, as exposure to tobacco increases the risk of respiratory infections. Teach your children respiratory etiquette, covering their mouth when coughing or sneezing, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals. A clean environment is key to health.

Strengthening lifestyle: nutrition, activity, and rest

Promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and sufficient rest, strengthens your children's immune system. These practices contribute to resilience against respiratory infections.

Prevention in action: quick response to symptoms

Remember, prevention is key. In the presence of symptoms such as difficulty breathing or persistent fever, don't hesitate to seek pediatric care. Quick action can be crucial to ensure proper treatment and prevent complications.
