A member asked:
Good day, what is the best immune booster for 12year old with chronic asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy diet: The basic need of any kid with asthma is well balanced nutrition, exercise and a formal asthma action plan. An asthma action plan is a written, organized plan of when to increase/decrease interventions based on the day to day changes in symptoms/environmental events. There are no immune boosters that pass scientific muster.

I am more susceptible to COVID19 because of my CKD and Asthma. May I take ZINC 20mg per day to boost my immune system? Please help.
Should I get a 4th shot if I just had the bivalent as my first booster in March? Am I behind vax schedule? I don't know if I'm immunocompromised since I have an autoimmune disorder (Sjogren's) and moderate asthma and obesity?
Should I get a second bivalent Covid booster? It would be my 6th total shot. I have mild/moderate asthma, and a blood clotting disorder(factor 2 prothrombin). Some doctors say I don't need the shot, others recommend getting it. Thoughts/opinions?
