8/4/2019 Tips to Prevent the Spread of Infection
2/2
Some diseases have been resistant to the
currently available antibiotics. As a result,
controlling diseases and preventing infections
from spreading are more crucial than ever, and
doing so begins with each one of us.
Here are 10 tips to prevent
infection
1 Wash your hands frequently especially
before preparing food, before eating and
after using the restroom. Insist that your
health care providers wash their hands/
use alcohol hand rub and use gloves.
2 Many diseases are spread through sneezes
and coughs. When you sneeze or cough,
cover your mouth and nose with tissue.Be sure to throw away used tissues and
then clean your hands.
3 Dont insist that your physician give
you antibiotics if you dont need them.Antibiotics have no effect on illnesses
caused by viruses.
4 Take prescribed antibiotics exactly as
instructed; do not stop taking them
without checking with your physician,
even if the medicine makes you feel
better or worse.
5 Keep your immunizations up to date.
6 Follow safe sexual practices.
7 Do not use I.V drugs; if you do, do not
share needles.
8 Dont share personal items - such as
razor blades, tooth brushes, combs and
hairbrushes - and dont eat or drink from
others plates or glasses.
9 Dont send your child to a day care center or
to a school with symptoms of an infection-
such as vomiting, diarrhea or fever.
10 Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold,
especially when they will be left out for
a long time.
