A. If your 3.6-year-old child is frequently suffering from cold and cough, it could be due to a weak immune system, allergies, or exposure to infections. Here’s what you can do to improve immunity and reduce episodes of cold and cough. 1️⃣ Common Causes of Frequent Cold & Cough 🔹 Low Immunity – Deficiency of Vitamin C, D, or zinc. 🔹 Frequent Exposure to Viruses – School, daycare, or crowded places. 🔹 Allergies – Dust, pollution, cold air, or certain foods. 🔹 Weather Changes – Sudden cold exposure weakens the body. 🔹 Poor Digestion – A weak gut leads to a weak immune system. 🔹 Excess Cold Foods – Ice creams, chilled drinks, and processed foods can trigger mucus formation. 2️⃣ Home Remedies to Reduce Cold & Cough ✅ Boost Immunity with a Nutritious Diet 🍊 Vitamin C-Rich Foods – Orange, lemon, guava, amla, kiwi, papaya 🥜 Zinc & Protein Sources – Nuts, paneer, curd, eggs, dal 🧄 Antiviral Foods – Garlic, ginger, tulsi, honey (after 1 year old) 🥛 Turmeric Milk (Haldi Doodh) – Before bedtime for stronger immunity ✅ Effective Home Treatments 🌿 Tulsi-Honey Mix – Crush tulsi leaves, mix with honey, and give once a day. 🥄 Ginger-Honey Syrup – 1 tsp ginger juice + honey helps with cough. 🌡 Steam Inhalation – Helps clear blocked nose and chest congestion. 🛌 Keep Warm & Hydrated – Warm water, soups, and light khichdi help. 3️⃣ Lifestyle Changes to Prevent Frequent Illness ✔ Daily Outdoor Play & Sunlight – Helps build strong immunity. ✔ **Wash
