My daughter had pneumonia a couple of months ago and has been feeling very weak since then. She has also had two episodes of fever after recovery. How can I improve her immunity and overall health?

After pneumonia, it is quite common for children to feel weak and tired for some time because the body takes weeks to fully recover. Episodes of mild fever after recovery may also occur due to common viral infections, especially if immunity is still rebuilding. To improve her immunity, focus on a nutritious and balanced diet. Include fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, pulses, and whole grains in her daily meals. Foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, lemons, and guava, can support recovery. Make sure she drinks enough water throughout the day to stay well hydrated. Ensure she gets adequate sleep, as rest is important for healing and strengthening immunity. Encourage light physical activity, such as walking or playing outdoors, once she feels better. Maintain good hygiene habits, such as regular hand washing and avoiding close contact with sick individuals, to prevent new infections. Avoid exposure to smoke or polluted air. If weakness persists or fever keeps recurring, it is advisable to consult a paediatrician for a thorough check-up and guidance.
