Back-to-School Health Tip: The Right Way to Cough and Stop the Spread of Germs!

Hi, folks! Dr. White here from Parking Town Pediatrics, ready to share a quick health tip to help keep kids safe and healthy at school this season. With classrooms bustling again, it’s normal to see a few sniffles and coughs popping up. But did you know that how children cover their coughs can make all the difference?

We’ve often taught kids to cover their mouth with their hands. But when they do that, germs stick to their hands, ready to spread to everything they touch—whether it’s holding a friend’s hand or sharing toys.

Here’s a simple trick to stop the spread: remind kids to cough into their elbows instead of their hands! This small habit can make a big impact by keeping germs contained.

So, as school settles into full swing, remember to share this tip with your little ones. Stay cautious and healthy, and we’ll see you soon!

Testimonials

Parkington Paediatrics|Home
I am a working modern mom who is bless, with two children. I have been taking my now 11 years old son and 5 years old daughter to Parkington Paediatrics for almost 6 years. The attention given to my children continues to exceed my expectations. The consideration offered to me as a parent when my kids are under the weather is priceless.

My daughter has gastroenteritis at 3 months old. There was an increase in the cases island wide and kids were being hospitalised. I took my daughter to Parkington Paediatrics. The doctor of the day took charge of my munchkin that day and told us to show up in office every morning at 9am for treatment and monitoring. My munchkin was treated back to good health. My baby never saw the gates of the hospital. Thanks be to God! Not only did she treat my baby back to good health. She treated the entire family, as we were all getting sick too.

We always go back for wellness check-up of the kids this ensures they are on the good path of their development stages.

Parkington Paediatrics is always there for us in sickness and health.

I have been taking my kids to see Dr. White since 2010. My daughter is now 17 years old and still wants to see her. She is amazing. Always patient and super kind to the kids and guess what? They always feel 100% better before their first dose of any prescribed medication. She is an absolute treasure and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to every parent who needs the reassurance that their doctor cares about the health of the whole family not just the little ones! Come in and see her, I can guarantee that you will not regret it!
