Question
My child is four years old and has been suffering from frequent colds since the age of one. Sometimes, they don’t get sick for two consecutive months, but their resistance seems very weak. I would like to know what should be done?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, the child may have a weakened immune system, which leads to recurrent colds due to viral invasion. It is recommended to enhance immunity through Chinese medicine and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, parents should help their child develop good hygiene habits and ensure a balanced diet, avoiding excessive intake of stimulating and cold foods. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system disease, immediate treatment should be sought and coordinated with the doctor for related management.
