A member asked:

What could help boost my child's immune system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wholesome living: The following are all helpful: vaccines, plenty of sleep, plenty of active play, lots of fruits and vegetables, frequent handwashing, avoiding others when they are contagious, and avoiding undue stress. There is no commercial product that has had demonstrable benefit to the normal human immune system so far.
