Thank you for providing detailed information about your child’s health history.
Your child had pneumonia at 8 months, which required hospitalization and intensive treatment. It’s not uncommon for children post-severe infections to experience temporary lowered immunity, which can manifest as frequent respiratory issues like running nose, nasal congestion, and delayed milestones (such as walking).
Based on what you’ve described, your child may be experiencing recurrent upper respiratory tract infections, especially triggered by cold weather or climatic changes. The nasal “su su” sound you mentioned is likely due to mucus congestion or mild nasal blockage, which worsens in winter.

✅ Here’s what I recommend:
1. Support Immunity Naturally
• Add homemade soups with garlic, turmeric, and ajwain (carom seeds) — excellent for immunity and digestion.
• Include seasonal fruits (especially oranges, papaya, guava – rich in Vitamin C) and dry fruits paste (like soaked almonds, dates) in his diet.
• 1–2 drops of Shadbindu Taila or Anu Taila in each nostril (once daily) — only after consulting an Ayurvedic expert. This helps strengthen nasal mucosa.
• Daily massage (abhyanga) with warm sesame oil, followed by a lukewarm bath, strengthens immunity and bones.
⸻
2. Cold Weather Care
• Use a humidifier or keep a bowl of hot water in the room to reduce nasal dryness.
• Avoid cold food, refrigerated milk, and too much exposure to wind.
• You can apply a mild ajwain potli (warm compress) on the chest and back (not too hot) to ease congestion.
⸻
3. Developmental Milestones
• Walking with support at 1.5 years is slightly delayed but still within normal limits, especially post-illness.
• Daily massage, play-based physiotherapy, and nutrition will help.
• You can consult a pediatric physiotherapist for guided exercises.
Wishing your child a speedy developmental and immune recovery. Feel free to consult for a customized Ayurvedic immune-boosting plan tailored to his constitution.
