A. Boosting your 2-year-old's immunity is essential to prevent frequent infections. Here’s what you can do: 1. Immunity-Boosting Foods ✔ Fruits & Vegetables – Oranges, guava, papaya, banana, spinach, carrot. ✔ Protein-Rich Foods – Dal, eggs, fish, chicken, paneer. ✔ Nuts & Seeds – Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds (powdered in food). ✔ Dairy Products – Curd, paneer, cheese (rich in probiotics). ✔ Whole Grains – Ragi, oats, wheat, brown rice for better digestion. ✔ Turmeric & Honey (Above 1 Year) – Mix a pinch of turmeric in warm milk. 2. Healthy Habits for Strong Immunity ✅ Regular Play & Exercise – Running, jumping, and outdoor play improve immunity. ✅ Hygiene Practices – Wash hands properly before eating and after playing. ✅ Adequate Sleep – Ensure 10-12 hours of sleep. ✅ Limited Junk & Sugar – Reduce processed foods, biscuits, and candies. 3. Additional Vaccination Beyond Government Schedule The government vaccination schedule covers essential vaccines, but some optional vaccines are recommended by pediatricians for extra protection: ✔ Flu Vaccine (Influenza) – Given annually to prevent flu and viral infections. ✔ Chickenpox Vaccine – If not already given. ✔ Hepatitis A Vaccine – Protects against liver infection. ✔ Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV Booster) – Prevents pneumonia and ear infections. ✔ Typhoid Vaccine – Given at 2 years to prevent typhoid fever. → Should You Give These? ✔ If your child frequently falls sick, talk to your pediatrician about these optional vaccines.
