Vitamin C is very important
On the contrary to the popular belief, vitamin C intake after the upper respiratory tract infection has already occurred is not effective. According to the studies, it may be beneficial for preventive purposes before the illness occurs.
Foods like tangerine, lemon, red cabbage, dried thyme, kiwi, broccoli, spinach and cauliflower are rich in vitamin C. The RDA for vitamin C in children is about 50 mg. 1-2 tangerines or 1 orange a day contains enough vitamin C to meet the most of this need. When it is supplemented with vegetables and fruits, your child’s vitamin C need will be met.
