[quote=Anonymous]Our toddler used to be sick almost constantly. (I tracked in in an Excel chart so I have a pretty solid idea of what was going on.) He'd end up in the ER for nebulizer treatment every few weeks. We finally insisted on an asthma assessment, and after that and going on daily Claritan, his sick days plummeted. Now he has a much more normal profile, and even remains healthy when viruses are circulating at preschool and other kids are sick. Moral of the story? #1 Start tracking illness and symptoms in a calendar or online, whatever works for you. I was able to show our pediatrician a graph that was very convincing, even in the face of the "all kids get sick a lot" explanation you're likely to hear. #2 Try allergy meds for a month. Allergies can look like colds. They can also make your kids more vulnerable to viruses that they'd otherwise be able to fight off. Good luck![/quote]
