Patient's question:
The baby is 5 years old and has been experiencing frequent colds and fevers since childhood. Sometimes, there is mild coughing as well. How many colds are normal for a baby in a year?Doctor's answer:
I catch colds about four or five times a year. This condition of my body isn't too bad, as long as there are no other major discomforts, drinking more ginger soup when it gets cold is fine. To prevent catching colds, in addition to quitting smoking in daily life, adjusting clothes according to weather changes, ensuring adequate sleep, persisting in physical exercise, paying attention to dietary nutrition, and minimizing outings during epidemic seasons. It's important to consume a certain amount of fruits every day, eat more soy products, and include foods like black rice, small jujubes, red beans, and tremella, which can help replenish qi and blood.
