How can I help my son improve his health?
My eldest son gets sick very often. His immune system is not strong at all. Last year he suffered from a sickness caused by a wacky immune system, causing him to get tiny bleedings in his skin and organs and reumatic infections in his joints. We spent a lot of time at the hospital, he endured all the tests only for them to tell us it's bad luck (probably caused by a throat infection causing his immune system to overreact) and there's nothing they could do to help him except give him ibuprofen. Fortunaly he recovered after a few months, but he has been weak ever since and he wasn't very strong to begin with. He is very tall yet thin and now he has a stomach bug which caused him to drop a lot of weight in a short period of time. He also has autism, so when I try to fatten him up a little with healthy foods he doesn't know and thinks he doesn't like, he will refuse. He looks very tired, has black rings around his eyes and coughs a lot, especially at night. My parents were shocked when they saw him today, urging me to go see another doctor, as he looks so sick. The doctor says there's nothing he can do :worry: Today I finally managed to persuade him to take some probiotics. He also gets extra vitamins for kids. What else can I do to strengthen his immune system? He will generally only eat bread with chocolate sprinkles, fruit and I push him to drink enough water, if I didn't he wouldn't drink enough or he would live on chocolatemilk. Despite his physical problems, he is a very active child with ADHD kind of behavior (comes with this type of autism). What else can I do to help him?
