Hi,
My son is 5years 5 months and weighs just 15kg. We have so many covid patients in our neighborhood. Please suggest medicine to increase his immunity. Which vitamin medicine should I give him? Also, he was due for MMR vaccine in April and then the typhoid vaccine post that in May,but is it ok if I delay it under current situation?As he is underweight too, I feel extremely worried.

Your child is under weight, he comes at 3rd centile according to IAP WHO growth chart. You need to stop his screen time, after waking up he should have freshly prepared home made breakfast and then he can drink milk. Then lunch, snacks and dinner.
