Brief Answer:
Colorful fruits and vegetables should help in boosting immunity
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Most often children get such symptoms due to viral infections. These viruses are all around and we get the infections whenever our immunity drops. Cold temperatures depress immunity. Some children are more prone to catching cold and that is the possible reason that your child is suffering from recurrent infections.
You can ensure that the child is kept warm and that she takes fruits and vegetables regularly in diet. Colorful fruits contain antioxidants that would help in boosting her immunity. There is no other way that you can prevent such episodes of catching cold. You need to be patient. The propensity would come down with increase in age.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thank you.
