Easing Allergies
Easing Allergies
If your child has allergies, here are some tips from New York-Presbyterian Hospital to make those allergies more bearable this winter:
-
Keep your home's indoor humidity level below 35 percent to help prevent the growth of mold and dust mites.
-
Don't put rugs or carpeting in your child's room.
-
If you have a humidifier in your house, clean it daily and change the water frequently to avoid contamination by mold and bacteria.
-
Don't keep plants in your child's room, because decaying leaves and increased humidity can boost the growth of mold.
-
Keep vents and filters clean, to prevent accumulated dust from being blown into the child’s room.
