What should I do if my child is thin, picky eater, and frequently suffers from upper respiratory infections?

Patient's question:

The child is currently underweight, picky eater, and frequently suffers from upper respiratory infections. Sometimes they need to receive intravenous drips once or even multiple times a month. I heard that getting vaccinated with BCG or immune globulin can boost immunity. Is that okay?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is best to encourage children to participate in sports activities to strengthen their physical health. The meals for the children are arranged by the parents, so parents should pay special attention to exposing children to a variety of foods as they grow older to broaden their dietary range and make them more accustomed to different types of food.
Every food has its own advantages and disadvantages. Only a variety of foods can meet the body's overall nutritional needs. Many children prefer candies and snacks. They dislike vegetables and soy products. Some children do not like meat. As a result, the children's nutrition is not balanced, and they may suffer from long-term nutritional deficiencies. This can affect the development of normal, unbiased, and non-picky eating habits in children. It is very important for parents to set a good example.
