Probiotics: Being on antibiotics does not necessarily decrease your immune system but does decrease your normal gut flora in which probiotics may help.Of concern would be why on a lot of antibiotics.Also get a well balanced diet,exercise and plenty of water will help.

It's not that simple: Many "non-medical" supplements, foods, herbs, and techniques are claimed to "boost" the immune system, but none have been proven effective. The immune system is complex, and "boosting" it to make it act stronger is not always a good thing. In conditions like arthritis, thyroid disease, diabetes type 1, lupus, eczema, etc..., the immune system is over-acting and damaging the patient's organs.
