What Diet Should Be Followed To Elevate Both Hemoglobin And Immunity In A 2.6 Years Old Baby?

I have a baby of 2.6 yrs. He is often falling sick and so doctors has done all test of him. In the reports his hamoeglobin is less and doctors also told me that his immunity power is also weak. After he feels sick i immediately take him to doctor and inspite of giving medicines also effect on him is very slow. As he is having problem of hamoglobin i m giving him beet root on daily basis then also there is no change in his hamoeglobin level and also doctor has suggested me to give him Septilin for increasing his immunity power and i m giving him from 4 months then also,he is feeling sick again and again. Please suggest me proper diet so i can increase his immunity power.

Hi. No one an do all the available tests, Your Doctor must have taken the routine tests. First of all let us know how much is hemoglobin exactly. Please post all other reports. Pomegranate in the juice form( baby is just 2.6 years, so only in juice form) made at home will surely help him to increase hemoglobin within 15 to 45 days( takes time). Add folic acid ( Folvit) tablets half on alternate days. Boiled eggs, chicken soups all help. Also give the baby 1 chewable vit A tablet - once a day for 6 days and one sachet of Vit D3 every week for 3 weeks only. Within a few weeks you will find a drastic positive change. Septilin is to treat a chronic ( recurrent infection) . Do not over-protect the baby as this is harmful in a long run as immunity is weak in such babies.If these few thing so not help , you may please consult another Pediatrician to have a second opinion. I hope you already must have given him the full dose of medicine for worm infestation. You can give him a full dose of 10 ml of liquid albendazole and repeat after 15 days. I am sure you will he happy with results. Please feel free to ask us more queries.
