Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM.
Recurrent RTI are quite common in children. some times six to 12 times in a year.
Improve his immunity with high protein diet. supplementation with multivitamin iron syrup.Vitamin D and zinc also to be supplemented.
Exposure from the infected child should be avoided. Like in school ,peer group If they are having some signs of viral infection your child should not come in contact with them.
Antihistaminic and decongestant medicines to be given along with paracetamol.
Montleukast to be added for long time.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
