Children below 6 years have a low immunity against infection. A child can have viral infection 6 to 8 times in a calendar year. Majority of times, your child might have been having viral infection or allergies for which no antibiotics are required. Repeated course of antibiotics are responsible for damaging the normal gut flora which later on leads to repeated loose motions and stomach pain so avoid it until prescribed. No medicine is available to increase immunity but following steps can be taken: Avoid junk food No cold water, ice cream, biscuits, wafers and chocolates Encourage more liquids Take the annual flu vaccination Give symptomatic care for cold, cough and fever for 2 days like cold & cough syrup and paracetamol sos
