Question
My child is 12 years old, slim in build, and has a weak constitution. They are often the first in class to catch a cold. What methods can be used to improve this situation?
Answer
The frequent occurrence of colds and coughs in children with a weak constitution may be due to imbalanced diet, deficiency in Qi, and low immunity. It is recommended to regulate the spleen and stomach, establish good eating habits, consume more vegetables and fruits to obtain vitamins, increase protein intake, and engage in moderate exercise to strengthen the constitution. If necessary, consider undergoing trace element testing and taking medications to boost immunity.
