What would cause a child to get sick frequently?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Repeated viral infection or sickness is a sign of poor immunity.

We need to focus on improving kids' immunity by following methods.

• Add a high protein diet (1.5 g/kg) is a protein requirement of a growing child. Protein deficiency is an important cause of poor immunity; eggs, lean meat, and fish are good sources, and dry fruits and pulses are too.
• It is best to check hemoglobin levels. Iron deficiency also causes poor immunity. Dates, carrots, and pomegranates are good sources of iron, plus add more leafy vegetables to the diet.
• Regular deworming is helpful.
• Encourage physical activity and decrease screen time.

If symptoms persist, further investigation is needed for any systemic cause. Feel free to connect me if there is other concern.

I hope it helps.

Kind regards.
