Question
Doctor, are there any medications that can boost my child’s immunity? He is over two years old and often coughs and has a fever, especially during changes in weather. I know this is because his immunity is low.
Answer
You mentioned that your child frequently coughs and has a fever, especially during changes in weather, which may be due to low immunity. To strengthen your child’s immunity, the key is to focus on the details of daily life. In addition to strengthening their own resistance, it’s also important to maintain a stable environment. I suggest giving your child transfer factor oral liquid to boost their resistance. Moreover, you should ensure your child has a balanced diet, avoid letting them go hungry, and make sure they rest on time, develop good sleeping habits, and avoid overexertion. When going out, try to avoid crowded places. Also, be mindful of keeping warm; avoid dressing or undressing too quickly. Children’s clothing should generally be one or two more layers than adults’, and it’s okay if they are slightly warm; don’t rush to take them off. If they get too hot, you can adjust by removing some clothes. Additionally, don’t rush to take off clothes after sweating to prevent catching a cold. It’s also important for your child to eat more vegetables and fruits, especially those rich in vitamin C. Wishing for your child’s healthy growth.
