POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Since your 2 years 6 months old child is active but not gaining enough weight and has a cough, it's important to focus on nutrition, immunity, and recovery from illness.
1. Diet to Support Weight Gain & Immunity
✅ High-Calorie Foods
Milk & Dairy – Whole milk, cheese, curd, paneer Healthy Fats – Ghee (1 tsp in dal/rice), nuts powder (almonds, walnuts) Protein-Rich Foods – Eggs, chicken, fish, dal, sprouts, peanut butter Fruits & Vegetables – Banana, mango, avocado, sweet potato, carrots
✅ Immunity-Boosting Foods for Cough
Turmeric Milk – Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric before bed Honey + Ginger Juice – A few drops (if no allergy) Tulsi + Black Pepper Kadha – Helps clear mucus Ajwain (Carom Seeds) Water – Aids digestion & relieves cough 2. Remedies for Cough Relief
✔ Steam Inhalation – Helps loosen mucus
✔ Warm Fluids – Soups, lukewarm water, herbal teas
✔ Keep the Air Moist – Use a humidifier if the air is dry
✔ Head Elevation While Sleeping – Prevents mucus buildup
When to See a Doctor?
