To prevent dengue, regularly change water in flower vases, throw away old tin cans or any old containers that could hold water where dengue mosquitoes could breed.
* Leptospirosis: Children could get this disease when they come in contact with the leptospira bacteria which enter the body through wounds, when playing in flood waters, vegetation, and moist soil contaminated with the urine of infected animals, especially rats. Don't allow your child to play in flood waters so he would not catch leptospirosis. Symptoms include fever, muscle pain, headache, calf-muscle pain, and reddish eyes in some cases. Early recognition of the disease and treatment within two days of illness prevent complications.
* Diarrhea: Children get diarrhea by ingesting contaminated food or water. Symptoms include frequent or at least thrice-a-day passage of watery stools, excessive thirst, sunken eyeballs and bumbunan for infants.
Oral dehydration solution should be given to a child with diarrhea to replace lost body fluids. To keep your child from getting diarrhea, teach him/her to observe proper hygiene, see to it that your child only drinks water from safe sources and eats well-cooked and properly prepared food.
