Give ?: In spite of advertising claim there are no real "immune boosters". A kid who gets proper balanced nutrition, proper rest & exercise will have their best immune function. At that age they are expected to get 3-5 respiratory & 1-2 diarrhea illnesses/yr. After age 5 they are sick less after building their immune system with earlier illnesses. Give supplements if you wish, they end up in pee or poop.

Prevention: Prevent illness by washing toys, linens and hands with antibacterial soap. Avoid contact with individuals who are ill and a yearly flu vaccination will help to keep your daughter healthy.
