Namaste, Frequent colds in young children can sometimes be related to adenoids, allergies, or recurrent infections, which are common at this age. Many children improve gradually as their immune system becomes stronger with age. Regarding the change in behaviour like increased crying or becoming unusually quiet, it may happen due to several reasons such as discomfort from cold, poor sleep, irritability during illness, or sometimes reaction to new medicines. Simple measures that may help: Ensure the child gets adequate rest and proper sleep, as repeated colds can make them irritable. Provide warm, freshly prepared food and fluids to support immunity. Avoid very cold foods, refrigerated items, and excessive sweets. Maintain good nasal hygiene and steam inhalation (mild steam in the room) if advised by a doctor. If the behavioural change started soon after the medicines, it is reasonable to review the medicines with your Ayurvedic doctor to check the dosage and suitability for your child. Ayurvedic medicines sometimes used to support immunity and respiratory health in children include: Sitopaladi Churna (in appropriate pediatric dose) – traditionally used to support cough and cold management. Chyawanprash (pediatric dose) – sometimes used to support immunity and overall strength. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.

Frequent colds with adenoids are common in children this age. Most Ayurvedic herbal syrups are generally safe if prescribed properly, but since the child became more irritable and unusually quiet after starting the medicine, it could possibly be a reaction or just coincidental with illness. I would suggest stopping the syrup for 1–2 days and observing the child. If the behavior improves, review the medicine .

With adenoids he will be facing this problem of frequent cold issues. About ayurvedic medicines could you please tell which medicine he is taking so that it is better to explain his behavioural changes. About the surgery. If he is not loosing weight inspite of recurrent cold attacks donot worry. Avoid giving milk products. Avoid cold food (cold to touch and cold in potency) to avoid recurrent infections. Teach him pranayam like anulom vilom and kapalbhatii. For immunity you can give him Syp. Phytonity 1 tsp twice a day Chavyan prash Avleham 1 tsp mixed with little ghee in the morning…

Syp usually have these effects. It keeps the brain in a dim state so that you can rest. But some syp are not meant for kids. If you can tell the medicines name that would be helpful for us to identify if to give or not to You can take these syp for 7 days max after that stop it. Reduce the dose to half tsp only . Take this churna 1. Shitopladi churna 1/2 tsp BD with 1tsp honey mix well give 3 times per day. He will feel good with out the dim brain. Dr Akshay negi MD PANCHAKARMA
