Pay attention to food hygiene and personal hygiene, and educate children to develop the good habit of washing hands before meals and after defecation from an early age. Children should be taught not to eat at mobile vendors or restaurants with poor hygiene conditions, and not to eat while walking with food in their hands. For families with pets, they must ensure the hygiene of their pets and warn their children not to feed their pets while they are eating.

Second, for infants and young children, breastfeeding is encouraged, especially in the first summer after birth, which is the most important period, and weaning in summer should be avoided.

Boil milk before drinking. Add or remove clothes in time according to climate changes. Pay attention to room ventilation and keep the air fresh. We should strengthen physical exercise to enhance our ability to resist disease. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, arrange your time reasonably, and make sure you can study and rest at the same time.
