Brief Answer:
here is the solution.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up.
If you want to increase the immunity of the child naturally , you can give him good balanced diet.
Avoid outside food.
Add lot of vegetables and fruits to the diet.
Zinc and vitamin D also increases the immunity.
Some exercises and participating in outdoor sports will also help.
Cold and cough episodes less than 5 to 6 times a year are normal.
If more than 6 episodes per year are there then the child need complete evaluation.
If the cold and cough are frequent then Montair lc can be given for 3 months or as directed by the treating doctor depending on the situation.
Hope this helped you.
