Hi Rupa, My son is 4 yrs old too and only since this winter he has been on and off cold too often. His doc said it's quite common for school-going kids of his age to catch cold. He told us not to give anti-biotic unless really serious because the immunity that they develop now is good for strengthening of their lymphatic system. Normally at the onset of rainy or cold season i give him Vit-C supplement; we get plant-based syrup here for kids. Latha
I have been reading on immunity for my son too who is almost 3 and was reading today that to boost immunity it is better to add more fresh fruits and vegetables and also reduce sugar intake. And the omega 3 fatty acids found in wild salmon or fish oil capsule are very good too. We give honey + kadukkayi or karakkayi powder to help control cough naturally as no medicine is recommended for young kids for cold and cough.
