Keep Healthy This Cold and Flu Season!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few tips that are helpful in keeping yourself and your host children healthy this winter season.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Wash your hands often and thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Say your abc song to make sure you are washing long enough! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. Make a habit of never touching your face. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t leave your used tissues lying around. Wash your hands after throwing them away. \"14424787-woman-with-tissue-and-spray-feels-unwell-with-flu-isolated-on-white\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Routinely disinfect shared objects at home. Don\u2019t forget the keyboard of computers and the TV remote. Door knobs and stair rails are places to clean as well. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Consider getting a flu shot. It is a myth that the shot will make you sick.\u00a0 The flu shot can prevent most flu infections. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue on the inside of your arm when you sneeze or cough. Flu germs can travel up to 20 feet very quickly.\u00a0 \"11369430-close-up-of-a-man-stifling-a-sneeze-in-his-elbow\"
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

7. If you are sick avoid going to crowded places and keep your distance from family members. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Get enough rest. Don\u2019t be tempted to stay out late with friends. Let your body have a chance to heal. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

9. If a fever last more than three days, see a doctor. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Keep cool air circulating and surfaces dry. Germs like moist, warm environments. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
