One question is how do you know the child=E2=80=99s immune system is weak. If it is weak, the answer is that he was probably born with the genetic make-up to cause the weakened immunity. That can be from diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or many other genetic diseases. Discuss this with his pediatrician.
