'm sorry you have to go through this. It's tough to see your kid sick, especially at such a young age. It can feel helpless, but don't worry. He'll probably be just fine.
Diet is essential, I believe, to healthy immune systems. While my daughter had constant stuffy nose issues as a baby, we attributed that more to the fact that she barely had a nose; my son only had one major illness-rotavirus-at 10 months. They were huge yogurt eaters, mostly veggies when on baby food and were nursed their first 6 months with breast-milk based cereal til 8 months.
Oddly enough, they've not eaten as well since probably 3rd grade on, but still don't really get sick-sniffles a day or two, even as teenagers and my son has maybe missed 10 days total since kindergarten(they're in 9th grade now) and I know 4 of those were trips.
