He is constantly going to the doctor because he gets a lot of stomach aches and he gets these really bad coughs. I personaly dont like his doctor because he always says its the same thing but yet we havent been able to get rid of it. He proscribes him medicine for stepthroat and he took him off milk. What can i do to keep him from gettin sick?

first of all we need a little more information. How old is this little guy? He may have an allergy. Is there a temperature with these coughs. Is he around smokers, maybe he's allergic to that! Have you got him on vitamins. Give him lots of Juice with high vitamin c content, Foods with onions ( onion soup is best) And garlic in everything it would taste o.k.in! Both garlic, onion and vitamin c boost your abilty to fight off disease! They're natural antibiotics and boost your imune system!!

Well, I'm definitely not qualified to prescribe any sort of medication, but maybe you should make sure he eats healthy foods- especially things with vitamin C (like oranges or nectarines). That's just the common sense solution to what seems like a serious problem, but nevertheless, the body functions best with a healthy diet. Also, consuming water regularly is good when sick. Good luck.

Make sure that all of his food is properly cooked/handled and that he is washing his hands frequently, like when he comes home from school, when he comes in from playing outside, and always after going to the bathroom and before eating.
Try taking him to a different doctor if you can.
