How to boost my 2 1/2 year olds immune system?

My son is 2 1/2 and was in daycare for 8 months and is now in Montessori. He has had colds non-stop for 8 months and most recently got pnemonia and his first ear infection. He has been through two cycles of amoxillcilan and seems to be abit better however he still has a runny nose and a cough. We are going to the Dr. today for the follow-up on the pnemonia. But I'm wondering what I can do to boost his immune system. ie. vitamin C, etc... He is a very picky eater so changing his diet isn't really an option as it is hard to get him to eat anything in the first place. Please help I am so upset that he's always feeling so crappy and I am constantly getting whatever he gets cause he's always kissing me :-) I love the kiss though so I'm not stopping that LOL
He's on flinstone's multi-vitamin daily and has OJ acouple times a day...it's not working. I've had mothers tell me to double the vitamin on days when he is sick but I don't, because it's a vitamin overdose at that point.
I would love to say that I wash his hands constantly or that he's too clean and sanatized LOL. But let's face it he's a boy he's always getting dirty and I mostly wipe his hands we rarely wash them except during bath times. He's constantly exposed to tons of germs so maybe that's the problem.
