Patient's question:
How to improve children's immunityDoctor's answer:
Supplement water, drink more water. Water is a necessity for humans, keeping the mucous membranes moist and forming an important defense line against bacteria. For children weighing less than 80 pounds (about 36 kilograms), the recommended daily water intake is 250 milliliters per 10 pounds of body weight (which means an 18-kilogram child should drink 1,000 milliliters of water per day). Ordinary children should drink 1,000 to 1,200 milliliters, while adults should aim for around 1,500 milliliters of water!Enhance nutrition to strengthen children's disease resistance. When a child is weaning, pay attention to choosing nutrient-rich, balanced meals with both meat and vegetables, as well as easily digestible foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, beans, and fresh vegetables. Start with soft or mashed rice, and chop vegetables and remove fish bones. Meals should be on a schedule, with one to two additional snacks such as biscuits, soy milk, milk, or fruits.
