Question
How can I lower a child’s immunity? My child catches a cold multiple times a year and has low resistance. There has been no previous treatment, no allergies, and no family history of hereditary diseases. I want to know how to help improve my child’s immunity?
Answer
Recurrent respiratory infections may be due to low immune function, deficiency of trace elements, or malnutrition. The patient may have an overly active immune system or could potentially trigger secondary immune function elevation. Further detailed examinations are required. If there is an immune deficiency, immunostimulatory treatment can be carried out based on laboratory results, such as using thymosin, transfer factors, influenza vaccines, etc. At the same time, nutrition should be strengthened, with attention paid to balanced dieting, increased intake of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals, and drinking plenty of water.
