    • If your child has a cold, make sure you prevent others from catching it since cold is easily communicable. Once your child has caught cold or is showing symptoms of it, try to keep him off social contact as far as possible.

    • Cold being a communicable disease can easily be caught by those around him. So keep him off school and play grounds so as to make sure other kids do not catch it. Keep a handkerchief handy around him so that he may use it while coughing or sneezing.

    • Tell him to keep his towels and tissues separately so that no other family member uses it accidentally and intake the germs. Give him steam before putting him in bed and ensure that he is well covered so that the steam treatment may work to ease his coughing and sneezing. If its an adamant cold, consult a doctor to get him a mild medicine.

    • Encourage your child to cover his mouth when sneezing and use a tissue when blowing his nose.
