Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
One can not dramatically improve the inherent immune power. Have healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables. The antioxidants of fruits and vegetables might protect you against pathogens. Avoid potential infectious situations so that chances for getting infected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
