The rainy season poses several health risks for children due to increased humidity and waterlogged conditions, which create breeding grounds for mosquitoes, bacteria, and viruses. One of the most common illnesses during this time is the flu or common cold, which spreads easily among kids in schools and daycare centers. Moreover, waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid, and gastroenteritis become more prevalent during monsoons, mainly due to contaminated water sources.

Additionally, maintaining proper hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently, can minimize the risk of infections.
Apart from infectious diseases, the monsoon can also exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma and allergies. Understanding how to manage these conditions and creating a safe environment for your child at home can ease their discomfort during this season.
