As summer holidays come to an end and children head back to school, Boots Superintendent Pharmacist Claire Nevinson shares her top tips to help keep children healthy during term time. 1. Teach good hygiene 'Some of the key hygiene rules I like to recommend are thorough washing of the hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds and using tissues to catch coughs and sneezes.' 2. Make sure vaccinations are up to date. 'Each winter in the UK, thousands of children who do not have a health condition need hospital care because of flu. All children are offered a flu vaccination each year as part of the NHS Childhood Flu Vaccination Programme.' 3. Spot the signs: - A sudden high temperature of 38C or more - A dry cough - A loss of appetite or difficulty sleeping - Diarrhoea or tummy pain - A sore throat - A runny or stuffy nose 4. Eat a balanced diet 5. Daily vitamins Click here to read more from our newsroom: https://spr.ly/6047mLKeh

Jesse Boot believed that everyone should have access to soap and a sponge. His legacy continues in our 175th anniversary year and today we’re proud to donate 175,000 toothbrushes and toothpastes to our charity partner The Hygiene Bank to support children going back to school! Over 4.2 million people in the UK are living in hygiene poverty and this is having a detrimental impact on children’s oral health: - A third of parents experiencing hygiene poverty say they are using a reduced quality of dental care products for their children due to financial constraints - One in four say their children’s oral hygiene has worsened - One in five say their children have missed school due to oral hygiene issues Poor oral hygiene can lead to more serious dental health problems, with tooth decay being one of the leading reasons for hospital admissions in children today. To provide access to toothbrushes and toothpaste to as many children this September, we teamed up with Josie Gibson to encourage the public to donate too via donation points in our stores. For every kilogram donated, we’ll donate an additional full-sized product to The Hygiene Bank.
