hi and thanks for the question,
keeping her warm is very important. It might be important to know why she is having recurrent infections. This could be due to inadequate treatment, resistant organisms or a condition that predisposes to recurrent infections. Primary immuno deficiencies, child hood diabetes and any childhood malignancies must be checked for excluded. I suggest you consult a pediatrician.
