There are two ways to improve children's immunity: drug method and non-drug method.

1. Drugs include traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, trace element preparations, dietary supplements, etc.

There are many kinds of drugs to improve children's immunity. ① Chinese medicines: Yupingfeng powder, Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, Huaiqihuang granules, etc. ② Western medicine: transfer factor, thymosin, pidotimod oral liquid, spleen amino peptide oral freeze-dried powder, immunoglobulin, etc. ③ Dietary supplements: bovine colostrum, probiotics and multivitamins; ④ Trace element preparation.

Different kinds of immunomodulators have different precautions. If taking traditional Chinese medicine for a long time has nephrotoxicity, it should not be taken for a long time without authorization. For western medicine, most of the side effects are clear, such as long-term use of biological drugs such as immunoglobulin can inhibit bone marrow growth. Health care products are non-drugs, but it should be noted that vitamins and trace elements should not be taken in excess, and should be supplemented in moderation.

2. Non-drug methods include exercising, strengthening nutrition and other methods to improve immunity.

① Exercise, let children bask in the sun more, breathe fresh air, work and rest regularly and get enough sleep to help improve their weak constitution and enhance their resistance.

2 Balanced diet to enhance children's disease resistance. For newly weaned children, mothers are choosing nutritious foods, paying attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and eating more digestible foods, such as fish, eggs, beans and fresh vegetables. In addition to three meals a day, you should add 1 to 2 times soybean milk, milk, fruits, nuts and so on. Pay attention to correct the habit of picky eaters and partial eclipse.

3 Drinking plenty of water can enhance children's immunity, and keeping mucous membranes moist helps to become an important line of defense against bacteria.

④ Chinese massage is also an available method. The methods to improve your baby's immunity mainly include taking part in outdoor sports, vaccination, supplementing nutrition, etc., which are helpful to improve your immunity.

1. Exercise: Regular participation in outdoor activities and increased exercise will help improve the body's immunity.

2. Vaccination: Vaccination is also an effective way to improve the body's immunity and prevent corresponding diseases.

3. Supplementary nutrition: Usually pay attention to nutritional supplements, and supplement foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, zinc and so on according to the baby's situation. It is suggested to have a balanced diet, and give all kinds of fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs and milk in the diet to ensure a balanced nutrition for three meals a day and reduce the intake of snacks and carbonated drinks.

Usually pay attention to the cold and warmth of the body to avoid catching cold, which can reduce the occurrence of colds. If you have obvious discomfort, you can go to the pediatric department of the hospital for treatment and give treatment according to the doctor's opinion. Children can improve their immunity by taking part in outdoor exercise, supplementing nutrition and getting enough sleep.

1. Outdoor exercise: Take children to participate in sports at ordinary times, improve their cardiopulmonary function and adaptability to the outdoor environment, which will help improve their resistance and immunity.

2. Supplemental nutrition: Usually achieve a balanced nutrition, eat less deep-processed snacks, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, high-quality protein, such as fish and shrimp, and fully supplement nutrition.

3. Adequate sleep: Children should sleep at least 9~ 1 1 hour every day. The younger they are, the longer they sleep and avoid staying up late.

If the child's immunity is low and he is often sick, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time to clarify the cause and treat him as soon as possible. To improve children's immunity and resistance, we should do the following: reasonable diet, timely vaccination, more outdoor activities, adequate sleep and normal living environment.

1. Reasonable diet: In order to improve children's resistance and immunity, parents should pay attention to let their children eat regularly, and at the same time pay attention to reasonable collocation of children's diet structure, so that children can eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins in moderation, and eat lean meat, bean products and other foods appropriately, so as to achieve a balanced diet, not picky eaters and partial eclipse, which is conducive to improving immunity and resistance.

2. Vaccination on time: Vaccination should be given on time after the child is born, which is conducive to enhancing the child's disease resistance and reducing the incidence of various diseases to some extent.

3. More outdoor activities: Take children to outdoor activities in peacetime. Appropriate outdoor activities are conducive to the synthesis of calcium and accelerate the metabolism of the body, thus improving children's immunity and resistance.

4. Ensure adequate sleep: Parents should pay attention to cultivating their children to develop good living habits, go to bed early and get up early, do not stay up late, and let their children ensure adequate sleep every day, which is conducive to enhancing their resistance to a certain extent.

5. Normal living environment: Children's contact environment should avoid excessive use of disinfectants, and necessary exposure to pathogens can stimulate children to establish a more perfect and effective immune system.

In order to improve children's immunity and resistance, parents should pay attention to the above points. When the child's body is abnormal, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time. To improve immunity, we can't just eat a single food. Only when the food is diverse, balanced and reasonable can it be beneficial to health. The general dietary principles are as follows:

First, the variety should be rich and the nutrition should be balanced. It is recommended to eat more than 12 kinds of food every day, and it is best to reach 25 kinds every week, including cereals, vegetables and fruits, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, beans and nuts.

Second, we should choose more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and soybeans, so that there are vegetables in meals, of which dark vegetables account for more than half.

Thirdly, it is suggested to eat fish, shrimp, poultry, eggs and lean meat in moderation every day. Meat, eggs and milk rich in high-quality protein are the material basis for the construction of human immune system, and eat less fat.

Fourth, it is recommended to use cooking methods such as steaming and stewing, quick frying and boiling, and frying and baking are not recommended. It's best to eat three meals a day regularly, don't be hungry or full, and make sure to drink plenty of water. If you want to enhance children's immunity and resistance, you need to ensure that children can get enough nutrition in their daily diet. Malnourished children will have poor immunity and resistance. Therefore, during the child's growth and development, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition and mix meat and vegetables. Enough fat, protein and vitamin-rich foods should be supplemented every day, and attention should also be paid to calcium, which is the most important trace element to promote bone development and growth.

Step 2 ensure sleep

Helping children to develop good living habits and rest habits, so that the body can get enough rest, is also one of the ways to improve immunity.
