Bird flu is dangerous for children
Doctors believe that children are more at risk of bird flu than adults. The two cases of bird flu that have been reported in India were also in children. Actually, this bird flu can easily affect the immune system of children, due to which children become its victims quickly, because the immune system of children is a little weak. In such a situation, this virus can grow rapidly in children by coming in contact with birds and external things. Its transmission can easily happen from birds or from one person to another.
protect yourself like this
If you also want your child to be safe from bird flu, then you need to be very alert. These days, when bird flu cases are increasing a lot, ask children to wear masks when going out. Apart from this, it is important to wash hands frequently, not touch the mouth, keep distance from animals, birds, and even maintain distance from each other while talking or playing.
Apart from this, include food items rich in vitamin C in the diet of children. Actually, this vitamin C boosts the immunity of children and protects them from external things and infections.
According to WHO, the influenza virus that spreads among chickens can sometimes cause mild infections and cases of flu in small groups of people through contact with infected birds or the environment. The H9N2 virus could play an important role in a major flu pandemic in the future.
