Brief Answer:
Laktrum similar to colostrum
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I need to know which type of infections she is getting to be better able to help you. Complete blood count and immunoglobulin levels should be checked.
Laktrum has bovine colostrum and lactoferrin which may help in improving immunity and prevent recurrent colds. The dose is 1 teaspoon with milk daily. The amount of milk can vary as long as the right dose is being given. Moreover, it is just extra nutrition.
Mostly it is hard to rebuild immunity. Many products are boasted to have immunity boosting effect but they are mostly ayurvedic products like Dabur chyawanprash and XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Ayurveda's XXXXXXX drops.
Among lifestyle, eating more fruits helps. Playing with other kids also helps. Drinking water from RO system also helps. She should not be going to congested daycares or playschools where she may get the infection from other kids.
You need to check as to why she is falling sick repeatedly and avoid that situation.
Hope it helps.
