Frequent cold and cough
Hello Doctor,
Last couple of month my daughter is facing frequent cold and cough issue.
As she is very choosy about her food. She doesn't like any spice in food.
Can this be because of immunity or allergy?
Kindly suggest something to get rid of this problem and also to improve her eating interest.

The frequent cold n cough could be due to low immunity, entry into school and constant exposure to new infections. This is quite common in kids and will be under control once her immunity develops.
As for eating spicy, u cannot force her. As she grows up, her tolerance to spices will increase. There is no connection to allergy or immunity here.
Keep introducing new foods and dishes at regular intervals as they tend to get bored with the same stuff. Also try n make it colorful n appealing to her. Do not forget to include fresh n dry fruits in her diet, besides veggies n cereals of course
