The main ways of spreading colds are droplet transmission and close contact transmission. Once your family members catch a cold, you can avoid infecting each other by keeping the environment ventilated, avoiding sharing utensils and other items, avoiding close contact and using masks wisely.
1. Keep the indoor environment ventilated: Avoiding a stuffy and airless environment with the patient can reduce the probability of droplet transmission.
2. Avoid sharing utensils and other items: practice meal sharing and sterilize the dishes used by the patient.
3. Avoid intimate contact: Since the main way of transmission of this disease is through droplet transmission, intimate contact such as kissing must be avoided.
4. Reasonable use of masks: Patients and their relatives can wear masks when communicating with each other in daily life, which will also help to avoid contagion.
For patients with colds, it is important to seek timely medical treatment and cure the disease in order to avoid transmission to relatives.
