Hi,
Your child has low immunity, you need to increase the immunity of child. Follow these precautions:
- avoid cold drinks, ice creams.
- avoid fried things from outside.
- get seasonal fruits like oranges which boost immunity.
- to built adequate immunity give enough vitamin c in their diet in the form of green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits & salads,
- add few drops of lemon juice in their meal. -cover mouth while coughing /sneezing. Continue cough syrup for 2-3 days. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
