Frequent occurrences of both respiratory and GI infections do point to something unusual. You should get her investigated for an immunological problem. One of the most common among these problems is common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), which can be easily managed with gamma-globulin infections and a few other interventions.
If her immune functions are normal, you can still try some things like greater attention to hand-washing, giving her multivitamins and a protein-rich diet, avoiding going to crowded places, avoiding a creche or a day-nursery where she is in constant touch with other, better-abled children, and so on.
