Singapore flu can be spread from splashes of saliva or phlegm when the sufferer coughs and sneezes, as well as direct contact with feces or fluids from blisters on the sufferer's body. However, you don't need to worry, because the Singapore flu can be prevented in several ways.
Singapore Flu Symptoms and How to Prevent It
There are several symptoms that generally appear when a child has the Singapore flu, namely:
- Fever
- Sore throat
- Fatigue
- Canker sores on the tongue, gums, or the inside of the cheeks
- Loss of appetite
- Rash with blisters on the hands, soles of the feet, or genital area
- Fussy and cry a lot.
Not only PHBS, there are also several other ways to prevent Singapore flu that you can do, namely:
- Make sure your little one always washes their hands with soap and running water, especially after using the toilet and changing diapers, and before processing and consuming food
- Teach your little one to apply proper coughing or sneezing etiquette, by covering his mouth using a tissue or elbow crease
- Clean shared objects, such as doorknobs, chairs, tv remotes, tables, and children's toys
- Tell your little one not to touch their mouth and eyes before washing their hands
- Keep a distance and do not share the use of eating utensils with children or people who show symptoms of the Singapore flu.
That's an explanation of the symptoms of the Singapore flu and how to prevent it. Don't forget to always set an example and remind your little one to adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle.
