Make sure your childs hands are clean before eating or putting fingers in mouth or near mouth.
Over the years We have used aqium gel more and more,to the point where it is almost ridiculuos.
Both my partner and I have never had stomach problems overseas any more than at home since using it.
I am a smoker and was always the one to get stomach upsets first.
I realised hand to mouth contact was the root of the problem not foreign food, and aqium gel has cured it.
Anti bacterial wipes are also readily available.
Children are worse than adults so be vigilant and wipe or gel hands all day every day, prevention is better than cure.
Its not just the money but touching a dog or cat or hands on a stall whist shopping.
Years ago we blamed the ice! But I believe it is what we are touching that makes us sick.
Or a couple of Phenergan and Imodium plus will work.
Jokes aside aquium gel works wonders for prevention.
