Question
Since birth, the child has been prone to illnesses. Despite having a sufficient diet, their constitution seems to be weak. During infancy, they often suffer from colds, which sometimes lead to pneumonia. At the age of three, they had an intussusception, nearly requiring surgery. Does this mean there is a malnutrition in child development, and how should it be handled?
Answer
Hello, this may be due to low immunity, where the immune system fails to effectively protect against infections by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. To boost your child’s immunity, it is recommended to enhance their constitution through dietary adjustments. Typically, you can have your child consume more lingzhi, fresh carrots, mushrooms, and other foods that help improve immunity.
