Q: My 10 months old daughter suffers from cold and cough frequently. What all should I do to strengthen her immunity?

A:Common Cold is actually caused by a virus. Exposure to cold air and temperature only starts it or aggravates it. Poor immunity can also aggravate it. So, in all you have to build the strength of the child and strengthen her immunity - avoid unnecessary antibiotics and medications, avoid colas, avoid preservatives and just relax.
