Why do toddlers fall sick with weather changes?

Question

Hello doctor,

My brother's child (2-year-old male) has been suffering from the following ailments:

He was hospitalized due to severe pneumonia and bronchitis two months ago.
He will get a cough when the weather changes to cloudy, rainy, or very cold weather, and when he has a cough, he will get a high fever (sometimes reaching 104 degrees).
He will not eat properly. So we try to give him food at a small number of intervals.
His hemoglobin is 10.5/A1+.

His mother is hypothyroid and is on thyroid medicine of 75 mg(milligrams) per day, Thyronorm.
His immunity may be sensitive, and he is getting all vaccinations as per the government schedule.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the reports that you have attached.

Hemoglobin level is low; it should be around 12 g/dl. CRP (C-reactive protein) level is high, suggestive of acute infection during hospitalization. Urine infection was also present at the time of admission. Repeated infections occur in a child with a low immune system.

In my opinion, you should give syrup Vitcofol (Folic acid, Nicotinamide, and Cyanocobalamin) half a teaspoon two times a day for one month, and syrup Bevon (Vitamin A, E, Cholecalciferol, etc.) one teaspoon once a day for one month. Vitcofol increases the iron level, and Bevon is a multivitamin syrup to increase immunity.

Give food rich in fat and protein, like full cream milk, two times a day. Add a small amount of clarified butter to every meal. Give an egg once a day. In fruits, give a banana, an apple, and a mango. Give cottage cheese and soybean gravy. Give two almonds daily.

Give non-vegetarian food also, if you eat. Repeat the hemoglobin level and review after one month.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
