The single most important thing that individuals can do to prevent the spread of infection is to wash their hands before and after eating,going to the bathroom,changing a diaper,and wiping a nose,as well as after cleaning toys or tables,after picking up after the children,and between touching each individual child.It is important for preschool children to have a nutritious diet; a healthy individual can fight infection more effectively.A physician,along with the parent,makes decisions about dietary supplements.Cleaning the toys can decrease the number of pathogens but is not the most important thing to do in this scenario.
