Dear Sandra, my son is recovering from pneumonia, and because his immune system is so weak he basically has a new bug every other week. As a preventative measure, more parents are seeking out ways to safely and effectively enhance their children's immunity and prevent infections before they arise. How are children's immune needs different to adults? Exposure to bugs builds up a child's adaptive immune system. It increases both the number and activity of immune system cells, resulting in a more efficient attack on viruses and bacteria.
