Our Studio City compounding pharmacy wants to give you and your children tips to stay healthy this winter.

 The beginning of the school year, as well as the start of the winter months, are some of the most common times for children to catch a cold. This is due to the fact that at the beginning of the school year, they are exposed to more germs and other children than they were during the summer months. The winter season brings forth the chilliness as well as more bacteria that children could potentially make contact with.

Our Studio City compounding pharmacy has five great tips to help you avoid having a sick child this winter, saving you – and them – from sleepless nights.

Hand-washing

Children will touch anything and everything. It is important that they develop the habit of washing their hands. Make sure they wash their hands after playing with other children, before eating, and after touching anything that is public property. 

Sleep

Studies show you are more likely to catch a cold if you are experiencing a lack of sleep. Make sure they are getting enough rest to keep their body full of energy throughout the day. This is also helpful if they happen to get sick – their body will be ready to fight off any bacteria.

Good Diet

Make sure your children have a well-balanced diet. As easy as it may be to overindulge on junk food during the holidays, try to avoid that for the kids. Have them eat plenty of fruits and vegetables as they contain plenty of vitamins and antioxidants.

Disinfecting

Disinfecting during the cold season is key. This means disinfecting any surfaces your child touches or anything containing bacteria that your child could accidentally ingest.

With these tips, our Studio City compounding pharmacy wishes you a safe and healthy winter and holidays!
