acidophilus is the very best at this, it puts all the good bacteria back into the body. think its a 30 course. my son had a course of this and fights of most minor illnesses very quickly (but he doesn't have many now). he also has allergies so i know you can get allergy friendly ones!

echinacea is supposed to be good for boosting the immune system when a cold does attack i haven't tried this one so not really sure

cant help much with this, but can point out that children with eczema /food intolerance need extra fluids.
eczema looses water through skin, and food intolerance draws water to tender, sore inner tubing!
