7yr old get a cold almost every other weekend, only lasts a couple days, sometimes with fever but usually not. does this mean he has a bad immune syst?

Not necessarily: It's best to have your son see the Dr. just to make sure, but when kids are around other kids outside the family, they can catch viruses frequently. Things that help the immune system are getting enough sleep and eating a healthy balanced diet.
