Patient's question:
My baby is 8 months old. He often has fever and colds, and sweats a lot while sleeping. He has a fever again these last two days, between 38-38.5, which is likely caused by a cold. Taking Tylenol hasn’t helped much. Is there any other medicine I can take?Does frequent fever and colds indicate that the baby is weak? Does it mean his constitution is poor? How can I improve it, and what nutrients should I supplement?
Thank you very much!!!
Doctor's answer:
It's better not to rely on medication and injections all the time; instead, focus on boosting your child's immunity. For example:1. Eat more natural foods, including vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals.
2. Grains are the staple food for humans; consume more of them.
3. The "five-a-day" fruit and vegetable guideline is not just for adults but is also suitable for young children. For instance, lycopene, beta-carotene, and vitamin C and E are abundant in these foods. Fiber can prevent constipation and provide a healthy digestive environment for smooth absorption.
