Question

How can we boost a child’s immunity? The child often catches colds or has eczema, even though they regularly exercise and supplement vitamin C, cod liver oil, and calcium, iron, and zinc, but their immunity still seems low. They have been to three hospitals, and the doctors have diagnosed them with low immunity.

Answer

Based on the description, the child’s immune system may not be fully mature yet. As they grow older, their immune system will gradually strengthen. It is suggested to give the child oral transfer factors or inject Skicon injection to enhance immunity. At the same time, considering taking the child to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for help can also be an option. Parents should not be overly anxious, as excessive worry may actually affect the child’s health. For chronic diseases and anemia, drinking plenty of water, keeping warm, and considering taking some medication to boost immunity are recommended.
