What kind of help is desired: Child has no runny nose or cough, just fever?
Doctor's answer:
Children often have runny noses, coughs, and poor appetite, which are all due to weakened immunity caused by zinc deficiency. Supplementing with zinc is key. It is recommended to obtain zinc from food sources. Eating more zinc-rich foods can help boost immunity for your child. Foods high in zinc include animal liver, seafood, nuts, and lean meats, such as oysters, lean meat, fish, walnuts, peanuts, and pork liver.Of course, in many cases, children may develop a deficiency in certain single nutrients due to picky eating, such as zinc (zinc and selenium supplements like Xinxiobao can be taken), vitamin A, vitamin D, etc. These deficiencies can also help alleviate colds and fever and may interfere with the body's immune function.
