Frequent illness

2025-09-17 02:58:14
Hi my kid is 2.4 years old and getting cold/cough/fever very frequently. From June start he is having this issue . We have consulted paediatricians but all are prescribing medicines for the symptoms . Is there any way to find out root cause for this ? From july mid he started school and he couldn't attend school for a whole week at a stretch due to poor health where as teachers says other kids are doing fine . I tried many home made remedies like tulsi honey ajwain water etc but no use . How can I help him build immunity? He is also allergic to vit C fruits so stopped giving that .

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician. I understand your concern. It is common for children around 2 to 4 years of age to have frequent episodes of cough, cold, or mild fever, especially after starting school, since their immunity is still developing and they are suddenly exposed to many new infections. ✅ Advices • Most children at this age get 8 to 10 viral infections in a year — this is part of the natural immune-building process • Continue giving a balanced diet with enough protein (milk, pulses, eggs, curd, cheese) to support immunity • Since your child is allergic to Vitamin C fruits, focus on other immune-friendly foods like carrots, spinach, pumpkin, ghee, nuts, and lentils • Ensure good sleep routine and regular playtime in sunlight What to Monitor • Frequency and severity of cold/cough — whether it is improving over time or getting worse • Any wheezing, noisy breathing, or difficulty in breathing • Growth parameters — weight and height gain as per age Management • Home remedies like tulsi, ajwain, honey are good but will not fully prevent infections • Steam inhalation and nasal saline drops help during colds • Medicines prescribed by paediatricians are usually symptomatic since most infections are viral and do not need antibiotics • If infections are very frequent or severe, allergy tests or basic blood work (like CBC, IgE, Vitamin D, iron levels) can help rule out underlying issues When to Consult a Doctor Immediately • High fever lasting more than 3 days • Breathing difficulty, fast breathing, or chest retractions • Poor appetite or weight loss Every child’s immunity improves with age. By 5 to 6 years, the frequency of infections usually reduces. You can support this with nutrition, adequate sleep, and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics. 👉 You can connect with me on Practo or WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a personalized immunity-boosting plan and review of his diet and reports. Take care, wishing your child good health. Best regards, Dr. Romain Rajan General Physician
