my friends daughter, 1yr old child suffered vomiting last month with fever, we brought the child to the hospital for check up, bought and strictly followed doctor's prescriptions. then recently the same child suffers from colds last week, and this week it's already accompanied by cough and fever. we brought the child to hospital yesterday for check up, started the prescribed meds. is this normal to a child, having simultaneous conditions in a short span of time?. what tips can you can give to prevent a child from having these conditions?.

Most infants have not strong immune system because they are in the stage of development. They need energy boosting and food supplements mostly rich in vitamin C, A,D, iodine, and iron. They get easily sick especially cold weather because cold air and indoor heating dry out nasal membrane making it easier for old viruses to get foothold there. As you have mentioned the child refuses medicine dropper, i think this is the best thing but you can also try pacifier medicine dispenser if its available there.
