How to deal with a child who is over 3 years old and has poor immunity?

Patient's question:

My child is over 3 years old and has a poor immune system. They often cough and don't get better without intravenous fluids when they get sick. I'm worried it's not good for their health. What should I do?
First follow-up question: What are sensitive antibiotics?

Doctor's answer:

Children getting sick easily is not necessarily due to poor immunity. Children around 3 years old are more prone to upper respiratory infections or gastroenteritis. Many people, including some doctors, try to prevent or reduce the occurrence of common illnesses by boosting immunity. The immune system, like the child itself, needs to mature gradually, and artificial intervention can have adverse effects. Pay attention to letting the child exercise moderately and avoid dressing them in excessively thick clothes.
