Hi Zooey, do you have a family history of asthma? you can look into supplementing your kid with the basic nutrition for general health. Then take additional supplements to boost the immunity, stengthen their lungs etc.This is what I adopt with my children after I take the time to find out more abt the importance of supplementation even at an early age. I'm happy with the results, now I give th basic supplements Jungamal and marine omega and occasionally add on cordymax, tegreen, colostrum, G3 etc when needed. They do get colds, cough occasionally but they recover fast, and I appreciate this a lot. I also appreciate the fact that I can take control of their health, and not rely solely on the family doctors or medicine which can only help with their symptoms. I dont know abt other mothers, I truly value health especially for my children and family. So, if you are keen, I can share more with you Zooey, the choice is still yours, I'm glad to share my knowledge to help more moms and children alike. Your kid is lucky to have a mum who wants to look for alternative help with their health, I've seen many who just refuse to change and its sad.
