A. It sounds like your daughter (7 years 11 months) may be facing issues related to nutrition, immunity, and possibly growth delay. Here's how you can help: 1. Nutrition for Growth: If she doesn’t like milk, offer alternatives rich in calcium and protein: Curd, paneer, cheese, ragi (nachni), sesame seeds (til), almonds. Add nut powder (almond, walnut, cashew) in roti dough, porridge, or smoothies. Include eggs, dal, sprouts, tofu, or chicken for protein. Give banana, sweet potato, dry fruits, and ghee to help with healthy weight gain. 2. Immunity Boosters: Give amla juice, tulsi-honey, or turmeric milk (haldi doodh). Include fruits rich in vitamin C like orange, guava, and kiwi. Deworm her if not done in the last 6 months (ask your doctor). Let her play outdoors for vitamin D from sunlight. 3. Cold and Cough Management: Avoid cold foods, especially at night (ice cream, cold drinks). Give warm water, turmeric-honey paste, and steam if doctor allows. If cold/cough is frequent and persistent, ask your pediatrician to check for allergy, sinus, or adenoid issues. 4. Growth Check: Compare her height and weight with standard growth charts. If significantly below average, ask your doctor about: Blood tests (for thyroid, iron, vitamin D) Bone age scan (if needed) Pediatric endocrinologist referral if growth hormone issue is suspected Let me know if you'd like a detailed weekly meal chart or immunity booster recipe.
