Question
How should one handle the issue of low immunity in a 17-month-old baby? Particularly after experiencing severe pneumonia and receiving seven days of intravenous treatment, can adding colostrum and pidotimod help to enhance immunity?
Answer
Pneumonia in children is a common and potentially severe disease, often requiring hospitalization and intravenous treatment. In such cases, it is recommended to undergo treatment under a doctor’s guidance and consider using antibiotics such as vancomycin. Regarding immune-boosting supplements like colostrum and pidotimod, it is advisable to consult with a doctor about whether they are suitable for the baby, as well as the appropriate dosage and timing for use. Maintaining the baby’s overall health, including balanced diet, adequate rest, and appropriate outdoor activities, also helps to improve immunity.
