* Shower with lukewarm water without scratching your skin so as not to cause skin irritation.
* Drink plenty of water to hydrate the body and drink fresh juices such as lemon and orange to provide the body with vitamins to resist colds that may result from weather changes.
* Close windows tightly and place wet cloths under the window and door openings to absorb heat and atmospheric dust.
* Avoid rubbing your eyes so as not to infect them. Use eye drops or water to cleanse your eyes and flush out any dirt that might be irritating.
