Also ask to wash the face with clean water.

Experts say that after coming out of the rain, the child should be given turmeric milk, vegetable soup or lukewarm water as soon as possible. So that the body can get warm quickly. At the same time, if there are children below 1 year of age, then take special care of their attire. In case of rain, keep the child wearing 3 layers of clothes, socks and a hat. However, keep in mind that do not load the child with so much clothes that he starts sweating. Due to this the child may catch cold.

Always include light vegetables, hot items and protein nutrition in the child’s diet. This will keep the child healthy and immunity will also be boosted.
