My ward is 4 year and 8 month old, half an year ago he fell down in staircase and got hurt near lowerlips. And much blood were out at that day.. after stitching by doctor it's treated wounds. And now a days he is frequently getting sick, like cold, and Viral fever, cough etc and I visited for pediatrics to cure. Doctor also suggested that his blood count is seems to be down . My question is whether it's due to that incident of fell down or due to climate change its happening! What should I do care for his better immunity concern? As he take fruits, egg vegetable then also low blood count? What should I do care?

Children around six years of age need a healthy diet consisting of fruits and vegetables, whole grain cereals, protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meat, pulses and legumes, dairy products, nuts, etc, and good quality fats to increase their immunity.

If your daughter does not like certain foods when sick, use these foods in different combinations. For example, make vegetable pulao with dal or paneer or soya which makes for a wholesome meal.

If she does not like soups, you can serve her other hot liquids like hot milk with turmeric and a pinch of pepper. You could also give her fruit/oats/nuts/dates smoothies.

Make vegetable/fruit preparations with colourful combinations and different shapes like a veg quiche or a wrap.

Fruit juices with mint, ginger or other flavourings will add healthy nutrients to her diet.

Berries with chia seeds or green vegetable juices will add valuable antioxidants and healthy fats.

Make sure she remains well hydrated.

Provide small and frequent meals and try and make sure she gets ample rest.
