Question
Children often have a weak immune system and frequently cough. Can they be given immunoglobulin injections to improve their condition? If so, where should they be injected? Have there been any similar treatment experiences in the past? What were the results?
Answer
It is not recommended to inject immunoglobulin into children. For babies who frequently suffer from respiratory infections, it may be due to deficiencies in calcium or zinc, so it is suggested to check for trace elements. At the same time, an immune function test can be conducted, and if an immune dysfunction is found, immunomodulatory drugs can be considered. Certain traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as Yu Ping Feng Granules, can also be tried and their effects observed. To enhance a child’s immunity, attention should be paid to a balanced diet, consuming foods rich in vitamins and minerals, and ensuring adequate water intake. Additionally, participating in outdoor activities more often, and paying attention to staying warm can all help to strengthen a child’s immunity.
