On the last visit for a review, his doctor suggested that we stop his childcare for a couple of months to build up his immunity, before sending him back. He was also prescribed Singulair (small sachets of white powder to be mixed into his cereal), with the hope of strengthening his lungs a little.
In the meanwhile, he is now on a whole range of supplements:
- Probiotics/Colostrum
- Multivitamins
- Vitamin C for an extra boost
- Fish Oil
Here are just some of the supplements that our family is taking, with the bulk belonging to Ian.
Unfortunately, he does not like the taste of the Childlife Multivitamins liquid. Hence, I had to mix it into his formula or cereal in order to hide the taste. On the contrary, he loves the gummy bears! I do not have to remember to give him, because he will ask for them everyday!
I am also giving him an Echinacea supplement on a bi-monthly basis. Hopefully, all these measures will help to build up his immunity and stop the frequent visits to his PD.

Sambucol is a good supplement to boost up immunity.
I asked his PD before, but according to her, it is more for asthmatic kids?? She did not recommend Ian to take that since he was quite 'normal'.
Errm.. no. Sambucol is just a normal supplement that boost up immunity. Anyway, if your PD never recommend, then I think you just stick to what ever you are having now!
That's what I read from the website too. But we will try to cope without it first and see how it goes.. Thanks for your recommendation!
