During hot and humid weather, children are especially vulnerable to illness. Associate Professor Nguyen Tien Dung, with 45 years of experience in pediatrics and respiratory medicine, explained that the humid environment is favorable for bacteria to thrive and infect the human body, especially affecting young children whose immune systems are not fully developed.
To keep children healthy and prevent illness, it’s important to use air conditioning properly. Setting the temperature too high or allowing direct wind blowing can cause discomfort and respiratory issues. It’s essential to set the air conditioner temperature at a level suitable for young children and monitor their reaction closely. Using air conditioners with features like avoiding direct cold wind blowing can help maintain a suitable temperature for children and improve sleep quality.
In addition to proper air conditioning use, maintaining hygiene by cleaning surfaces and objects in daily contact, as well as disinfecting the nose and throat with saline solution, can help reduce the presence of pathogens and prevent illness. Choosing air conditioners with improved air outlet designs, such as those with SilkAir soft air features or BabyCare mode, can also help ensure the health of children during hot and humid weather conditions.
Overall, using proper air conditioning techniques, maintaining hygiene, and choosing suitable air conditioner features can help prevent illness and keep children healthy during challenging weather conditions. By following these recommendations, families can create a healthier environment for their children and minimize the risk of respiratory issues during hot and humid weather.
