POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. If your kids are frequently falling sick, their immunity might need a boost. Here’s what you can do to strengthen their immune system and reduce frequent illnesses:
1️⃣ Nutrition for Strong Immunity
✅ Protein: Eggs, dal, chicken, fish, paneer, nuts
✅ Vitamin C: Orange, lemon, amla, guava, kiwi, capsicum
✅ Iron & Zinc: Spinach, beetroot, pumpkin seeds, dry fruits
✅ Probiotics: Curd, buttermilk, homemade pickles
✅ Healthy Fats: Ghee, coconut, avocado, almonds
✅ Turmeric & Honey: Helps prevent infections
📌 Tip: Avoid excessive sugar, junk food, and processed snacks as they weaken immunity.
2️⃣ Hygiene & Cleanliness
✔ Wash hands before meals and after playing
✔ Keep nails trimmed to prevent infections
✔ Teach them to cover their mouth while sneezing/coughing
✔ Change clothes after school/playtime
3️⃣ Daily Sunlight & Outdoor Play
🌞 Vitamin D from sunlight strengthens bones and immunity.
🏃♂️ Physical activity improves overall health.
4️⃣ Enough Sleep
🛏 Kids need 9-12 hours of sleep to allow the body to recover and fight infections.
5️⃣ Home Remedies for Frequent Colds & Coughs
🍵 Tulsi & Ginger Kadha (Boil tulsi, ginger, and black pepper in water)
🥛 Haldi Doodh (Turmeric Milk) before bedtime
💨 Steam inhalation for congestion
6️⃣ Deworming (if required)
⚠️ If kids have low appetite, weakness, or stomach pain, they might need deworming (consult a pediatrician).
When to See a Doctor? If your child falls sick every 2-3 weeks If infections last longer than usual If they have low energy or weight loss
