What Causes Recurrent Cold In A Child?
Question: My son is 7years old and he catches cough and cold very easily. Like once/twice every month. Then we usually give him ayurvedic honey or jayaphal etc to cure. But can we do something to increase his immune system so as to avoid this problem appearing again and again so soon? Please suggest.

Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and if recurrent cold is a common problem them you can opt for Immunodulation [Rasayana] Therapy as follow:
A. Rasayana drugs (Rejuvenation/Immunomodulators) should be instituted in his management as part of XXXXXXX (palliative) therapy i.e. which corrects the dysfunction of tissues without disturbing the functions of normal tissues, also Rasayana drugs potentiates humoral antibodies, by increasing serum Immunoglobulin’s such as IgA,IgG and IgM.
i. Proteins are essential for antibodies production so milk, egg (white), beans, yogurt,soyamilk,pumpkin,squash,watermelon,peanuts,almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices
ii. Vitamin A: helps to maintain Thymus gland which is a powerful antiviral gland : thus XXXXXXX carrots,cantaloupe,egg yolk,apricots,pumpkin,papaya, are ideal
iii. Vitamin C: is needed for proper functioning of immune system: amla is best
iv. Vitamin E: is a powerful anti oxidant which helps to stimulate antibody production: peanuts, dried apricots, cooked spinach, taro root can be taken
v. Vitamin B is important for the activity of phagocytes: eggs, cheese, pistachio, raw garlic, sunflower and sesame oil.
