HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Children, particularly young children have a poor immune system because it is now developing.
For this reason, they can become sick often.
A cold can potentially last a few weeks in these children and they can get up to 10 colds a year.
This means that it may seem as though they are constantly sick.
The use of an appropriate vitamin for his age may help as well as using a wide range of fruits and vegetables.
I hope this helps
