Beating the Heat: The Importance of Air Conditioning, Hygiene and Choosing the Right Features for Children’s Health during Hot and Humid Weather Conditions

Children’s health is a top priority, and proper use of air conditioning, avoiding cold water consumption, and maintaining hygiene of the nose and throat are essential factors to keep children healthy and prevent illness. The recent erratic weather in the North, with alternating heavy rain and intense heat, has made many people, especially children, feel tired and uncomfortable due to high humidity. According to Associate Professor Nguyen Tien Dung, with 45 years of experience in pediatrics and respiratory medicine, the humid environment is favorable for bacteria to thrive and infect the human body, especially affecting young children whose immune systems are not fully developed.

Improper use of air conditioning can lead to illness in children. Setting the temperature too high or allowing direct wind blowing can cause discomfort and respiratory issues. It is important to set the air conditioner temperature at a level suitable for young children and to monitor their reaction closely. Using air conditioners with features like avoiding direct cold wind blowing can help maintain a suitable temperature for children and improve sleep quality. Air conditioners with SilkAir soft air features or BabyCare mode can also help ensure the health of children during hot and humid weather conditions by providing a comfortable environment without causing discomfort or irritation.

In addition to air conditioning, maintaining hygiene by cleaning surfaces and objects in daily contact as well as disinfecting the nose and throat with saline solution can help reduce the presence of pathogens and prevent illness. Choosing air conditioners with improved air outlet designs can also help ensure the health of children during hot and humid weather conditions by providing better indoor air quality.

Overall, proper use of air conditioning, maintaining hygiene, choosing suitable air conditioner features are essential factors that parents should consider when keeping their children healthy during challenging weather conditions. By following these recommendations
