The immune system is human body's first line of defense against foreign germs, bacteria and viruses that could cause health problems like ailments and chronic diseases. Keeping our immune system balanced and healthy is important for adults to live a sickness-free life, and for children to grow as expected. But in modern lives, low immunity has become an increasing problem because of the harmful things like poor diet, lack of sleep, and stress.
A weakened immune system affects the whole body, and symptoms can be severe or mild depending on how weak a person's immune system is. And here are several common signs of a weak immune system in children:
* Fatigue
* Frequent infections
* Allergies
* Digestive problems
* Slowed growth
* Wounds that take a long time to heal
If you suspect your child may be immunity deficient, please consult your doctor.
