POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. 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.
