Question
How can parents boost their baby’s immunity if it’s low?
Answer
Doctors suggest that a trace element test can be conducted on the child to confirm if there is a zinc deficiency. If diagnosed with a zinc deficiency, the child can be treated with zinc gluconate oral solution. Additionally, it is recommended to feed the baby with zinc-rich foods, such as oysters, to enhance the baby’s immunity. For breastfed babies, the mother should also consume more zinc-rich foods. Moreover, good hygiene habits and a balanced diet also contribute to improving the child’s immunity.
