Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Medication choices for enhancing immunity in children should be based on a doctor's advice and the child's specific condition. The following are some common medication options:
1. Traditional Chinese patent medicines: such as Yupingfeng Powder, Huangqi (Astragalus), and Dangshen (Codonopsis), which contain various nutritional components and have functions of invigorating the spleen, replenishing vital energy, and improving immunity. Among them, Yupingfeng Powder and Huangqi are suitable for individuals with physical weakness, while Dangshen can enhance the body's resistance and regulate gastrointestinal motility.
2. Immunomodulators: such as Transfer Factor Oral Solution and Thymopeptide, which can enhance humoral and cellular immune function and help the body resist diseases. However, it should be noted that these medications may have certain side effects and must be used under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Vitamin and trace element supplements: such as Multivitamin Tablets, which can replenish nutrients lacking in the child's body and improve immune function.
When selecting medications, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice and avoid blind medication use.
