Teen keeps being ill

He's catching everything!
Loves school. Eats well. Exercises lots. Takes vitamins.
But catches EVERY bug going.
He's been tested for deficiencies by the dr.
He does really well at school and is in the top streams.
But his attendance is not great.
Sent him in last week after he's been in bed for a fee days and the poor love has caught something else.
I don't know what to do 🙈
Any ideas?

Same here. I think I might do the same ref testing for deficiencies. She’s had so many cold viruses since last summer.

I’ve just ordered some optibac to try and improve her gut health.

Good idea.
Mine's on the floradix
The other one who rarely gets ill is down now with the most awful cough & strep throat.
Honestly we've had so much school absence in this house this year it's so wearing!

Same here. My DS after saying he wasn't feeling well yesterday has now developed a 38.6oC fever and flu like symptoms. School attendance 88%. Today's Covid test negative. Had sore throat 2 weeks ago and pretty much ill with sore throat on and off since last summer. Will have to go back to GP

Early nights.
Loads of garlic in their dinner! 🤣🙈
