Bearing in mind the composition and the fact that the manufacturer does not provide direct information about the possibility of using the preparation in children of this age, I would advise against its use. The homeopathic preparation Dr. Reckeweg R26 is a set of 4 ingredients selected for the support of the immune system on the one hand, but also indicated in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome. Nitric acid in potency D12 is indicated for cardiac disorders; phosphoric acid in potency D12 treats the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, general exhaustion caused by excessive effort, also treats numbness of the limbs, a feeling of heaviness and dizziness; one iodine derivative increases the viscosity of the blood, acts on the thyroid gland, and the other treats irregular blood circulation, stomach discomfort, headaches, nosebleeds and a feeling of fatigue. In the case of homeopathic medicines, it is crucial to choose the right ingredients for a given patient, so it is worth discussing it with a homeopath. There are a number of preparations available in pharmacies to increase immunity. Their detailed overview can be found in this article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/witaminy-i-suplementy-na-odpornosc-u-dzieci. For my part, I would like to point out that if the child often catches diseases of the upper respiratory tract, it is worth contacting an ENT specialist to exclude hypertrophy of the pharyngeal almond. If the "third almond" is not the cause of recurrent infections, it is worth using one of the stronger preparations for immunity, e.g. Biostymine, and give half an ampoule every day for 10 days or every other day and then the treatment lasts 20 days. It is a drug that can be safely used from the age of 5. Another possibility is preparations such as m.in. Broncho-Vaxom 3.5 mg, which also effectively reduce the frequency of infection, however, are only available with a doctor's prescription.
