Is there anything I can give my 3 year old daughter to boost her immune system?

Hello, it's cold weather and all that for my 3 year old daughter who she's bringing home from daycare.

Thank you for your question!
There is no product, vitamin or supplement that has been shown to be effective or beneficial for the immune system in adults and children.
Instead, we should look at non-pharmacological measures
make sure your child is getting plenty of fruits and vegetables, adequate sleep, and good stress management if possible, among other things. If one of the children or members of the household is sick, simply maintain basic hygiene measures: avoid hugging if possible, do not share towels, and wash them often.
Finally, if your child is prone to colds, I strongly suggest, for maintenance and prevention, sinus hygiene with a saline solution like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse.
This is the best option to prevent the accumulation of secretions. There is no maximum during the day, but it should be done at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if there's anything I can do
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
