By preventing fungal infections in the first place, you ensure your child’s wellbeing. Here are a few ways you can prevent fungal infections from occurring in children:

Make children stay away from affected pets and people – Fungal infections spread from one person to another, and even from animals to humans. Make sure your child stays away from affected beings.

Ensure proper hygiene – Wash their hands and feet regularly. Dry them properly after washing and make sure they clip their toenails and fingernails to reduce chances of fungal infections. Parents should also practice good hygiene routines to ensure they don’t get affected as well since fungal infections are transferable.

Wear appropriate footwear – Wearing the right footwear can prevent fungal infections from contracting on their feet in the first place. Wear flip-flops or sandals at public pools and during shower times.

Keep homes clean and dry – Make sure your home is clean and dry. Eliminate wet and damp areas on the floor since babies crawl a lot and can get affected by fungal infections from there.
