I'm wondering if it's okay to give my son a Limcee chewable tablet once a day since he often gets a cough. I've heard vitamin C helps with immunity. He's 7 years and 6 months old. Would this be safe and effective for him?

I'm a bit worried about my 4-year-old. His chest seems to be sticking out more than usual, almost like a pigeon chest. Hes otherwise really active and his development seems spot on. A couple of doctors mentioned it might become normal as he grows, but Im wondering if I should consider any form of treatment now or keep waiting. What do you recommend?

Can you get chicken pox twice?

Most people who have had chicken pox once will be immune to the disease for lifetime but reinfection may happen in persons with suppressed immunity. Also, the virus may remain inactive in the nerves and may reactivate anytime later in life.
