The EV-D68 Virus: Children' Virus

If you believe your child may be ill with this virus, first, do not panic, keep calm, use common sense.
Bring your child directly to your pediatrician, a doctor, or the emergency room. Have the child tested for EV-D68 virus.
Your child may just have a bad head cold or flu. But, a sick child should not be left unattended to.


What we should do as good parents is to  practice good hygiene at home, at work,  and at school, 
and to teach good hygiene to our children.
In this way, you are helping to prevent your child (as well as yourself) from getting sick with any kind of disease, even the common cold.
Send your children to school with hand sanitizer or anti-bacterial hand wash in their back pack.

Make sure all your surroundings are clean. 
Keep your inside home environment clean, and encourage your children to help out around your home.
Use Chlorine, chlorine - like products, disinfectants, anti-bacterial soaps and other anti-bacterial cleaning products, and disinfectanting products as well.
Have your children sweep up and discard leaves and debris (any garbage) outside your home.
A clean environment is a healthy environment.

And, healthy eating practices leads to a healthy and stronger body, ( that can  fight off disease more effectively).
