Medications for enhancing children's immunity mainly fall into the following categories: 1. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Such as Astragalus membranaceus oral liquid and Yu Ping Feng San (Jade Windscreen Powder). These medications can comprehensively regulate children's physical conditions and effectively improve gastrointestinal function, although they may take longer to show effects, typically requiring administration for one to two months or more. 2. Western Medications: Including spleen aminopeptide, pidotimod, transfer factor, etc. These drugs are commonly used to enhance respiratory immunity in children and have notable effects. 3. Injectable Medications: Such as immunoglobulin (also known as gamma globulin). These medications can rapidly enhance immunity and accelerate disease recovery when children have low humoral immune function or severe infections. 4. Trace Element Supplements: Such as zinc gluconate oral liquid and calcium gluconate oral liquid. These supplements provide auxiliary effects in improving children's immune function. Please note that these medications should be used strictly under a physician's guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.
