My child is six months old and was hospitalized for nine days due to bronchopneumonia. During hospitalization, she received cephalosporin and azithromycin intravenously. Two days after discharge, she relapsed and was treated in the outpatient clinic with penicillin for five days, followed by two days of traditional Chinese medicine. The doctor said auscultation of the lungs showed no moist rales, but two days later she developed tracheitis with low-grade fever. What should I do? My child’s constitution has become so weak—how can I improve it?

A: Children today are essentially living in greenhouses. Parents’ excessive pampering and overprotection lead to weakened immune systems. When a child gets sick, parents go through multiple generations of worry and fuss, constantly dealing with fevers or pneumonia. It is recommended to inject or administer thymosin peptide to restore the child’s immunity. For fevers, prioritize traditional Chinese medicine treatment, supplemented appropriately with antibiotics.
