My one year son falls sick every now and then. Now with the winters here I think there is not even a single day when he is not having cough. I am taking all types of precautions but nothing seems to help.
I do not want to give a lot of medicines to him. Please suggest how can I improve his immunity?
One thing that I can tell is that today's medication is the enemy for children. We tend to run to the doctor even if our child sneezes and then give them loads of antibiotics. Medication reduces the immunity of the body and also weakens the body. If you can please try to cure your child with home remedies. If really required go for medication.
My son also keeps getting cough every now and then. Many a times he also had upset tummy. Mostly I try not t go for allopathic medicine but many a times I have to. For stomach doctor has suggested me to keep giving him deworming every 6 months and I am doing so.
I think this type of problem every other mom is facing.
I have had a similar experience with my son's health for last 5 months and my visits to doctor has been much more frequent. But many a times I have seen my visits are just because I am much more cautious with my baby's health. Even if he sneezes once or twice I rush to the doctor. But what to do I feel that its my responsibility to keep my baby healthy.
I don't think that we or our parents used to fall sick so often as our kids do. The best way to improve the immune system is to feed fresh fruits and vegetables to your kids.
Start this from the time you are pregnant and when you are breast feeding. At this time its the mom who need to have healthy diet which is passed to the baby.
Both my kids are above 6 years of age still some or the other health problems keep coming up. Mostly I try to avoid visits to doctor until and unless necessary. One thing that I have learned from experience is that its very important to let the kids get exposed to germs as this increases the immunity.
Protecting a kids from the normal environment we are living in makes his/her immunity low. If we keep using disinfectants and medications the germs tend to become immune to it. So, avoid a very frequent use of these.
I give Chawanparash to both my kids. I have heard that its good. I am not sure if thtas good but I can surely tell that my kids do not get frequent cough and cold.
