Patient's question:
My daughter is four years old. Recently, for the past one or two days, she has been running a fever every night, accompanied by redness in her face and ears. Previously, she also had a fever with redness in her face and ears, and after taking medication, she developed canker sores. It took several days of injections to recover. The medication she took last time was Amoxicillin.Could you please advise if my daughter is lacking something, and how to boost her immunity?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Fever accompanied by redness is very normal. Active cooling treatment is sufficient. At the same time, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of allergies.Enhance immunity
First, it is important to avoid contact with pathogens as much as possible.
Second, enhance your baby's immunity through a balanced diet, proper nutrition, and appropriate exercise. If you consult a doctor at the hospital, they will definitely recommend beta-carotene to boost the body's resistance to diseases, especially infectious diseases. At the same time, beta-carotene is also a powerful antioxidant that can effectively remove harmful substances from the body.
It should be noted that beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A. That is, it can be converted into vitamin A in the body. A moderate amount of vitamin A can prevent night blindness and dry eyes, and it can also enhance the resistance of the respiratory epithelial mucosa to pathogens, preventing respiratory infections.
Therefore, allowing your baby to consume foods rich in beta-carotene, such as breast milk or infant formula containing beta-carotene, will greatly benefit their immunity.
