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 with penicillin for another five days at the outpatient clinic. She also took traditional Chinese medicine for two days. The doctor said auscultation of her lungs showed no moist rales, but two days later she developed tracheitis with low-grade fever. What should I do? Her constitution has become so weak—how can I improve it?

A: Children today are essentially living in a greenhouse environment. Parents' excessive pampering and overprotection lead to weakened immune systems. When a child gets sick, parents go through multiple rounds 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.
