A member asked:

How can i help my child avoid infection if she plays outside all the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allow her to play!: Outdoor play and social interaction helps children in a number of ways both physically and mentally. Exposure to germs is the natural way for the body to build immunity, in addition to proper and adequate rest and proper nutrition. A multivitamin with C and zinc may help during the cold and flu season.
