As temperatures and winter weather patterns shift, pediatricians recommend that parents take proactive steps to protect toddlers and young children from increased infection risks.
Dr Sanjiv Singh Rawat advises dressing children in comfortable, breathable layers while avoiding overheating, and checking their back or chest for warmth instead of hands.
Parents are urged to maintain hand hygiene routines, keep children away from individuals with cold symptoms, and ensure age-appropriate vaccinations and boosters remain up to date.
