Does anyone know of a doctor that specializes in the immune system ? My 7 year old is constantly sick with fever and viruses , colds etc. his immune system seems to be weak. Vitamins don’t help much . If anyone ever went to a immunologist if that even exists let me know. Willing to travel ! Thanks

Often allergy and immunology go together. We use Dr. Subhadra seigel in Westchester. Shes really knowledgable. Call and ask them if she could help you.

Ok. Go to a different specialist for a second opinion. I got much better diagnosis for my kid who didn't fit into any box neatly that way.

Ask the new specialist to run everything they can think of. Nutrition, autoimmune, cbc.

Even if you don't get any answers you'll at least be able to rule out major r physical causes this way
