Question

My daughter has been catching colds frequently for the past year, and her immune check showed IgA levels of 0.58, which is low, along with a zinc deficiency. She recently developed bronchitis. The doctor recommended injecting her with a vaccine to enhance her immunity, which contains inactivated grass bacterium. What is this type of bacterium? Are there any side effects to using this medication? How effective is this vaccine for enhancing immunity? Is it necessary to inject it annually or monthly? If not injected, will the child’s resistance become worse? Besides injections, what nutritional supplements can enhance immunity? For example, is NutriProtein effective?

Answer

Enhancing children’s immunity is a long-term process. Parents should pay attention to the following points:

  1. Strengthen care and proper feeding, take the children out for more outdoor activities, get more sun exposure, and start washing faces with cold water and taking cold baths in winter.
  2. Actively treat and prevent malnutrition.
  3. When there is an epidemic of upper respiratory tract infections, avoid taking children to crowded places, keep the air in the home circulating, and clean up dust in time, using vinegar fumigation to disinfect.
  4. For children who frequently get sick, it may be considered to use milk powder with immune active protein or colostrum powder. If a child under 2-3 years old catches colds 6 times a year, consider injecting transfer factor to improve resistance.
  5. Biocleanse is a probiotic supplement used to adjust the child’s gastrointestinal tract, particularly effective for diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal flora imbalance.
  6. NutriProtein mainly contains protein and trace elements and can help enhance immunity, but it is more expensive and depends on individual circumstances whether it should be used.
  7. The Ustilago vaccine is a muscle injection immune enhancer but is not necessary to use annually. For NutriProtein, it mainly contains protein and trace elements and can help enhance resistance, but it is more expensive and depends on individual circumstances. The Ustilago vaccine is a muscle injection immune enhancer but is not necessary to use annually.
