Today
Today I want to write what is on many parents minds as it may appear summer may be departing soon. And that is that fall/winter is coming and with that also the sniffles, cough, and fevers that accompany the season.
Your child may be appearing like they are constantly ill. While it can be frustrating it can also be completely normal. I have had panicked parents who think their child is immunodeficient from so many illnesses but in reality is that it is most likely normal.
The children I have seen with immunodeficiencies are truly ill. Bounce back from the hospital often for minor illnesses that can become truly severe and disseminated.
So I understand being up at 3 AM with a crying toddler many nights in a row can give the impression something is truly wrong. For that there is nothing you are responsible for, come in to clinic or Urgent Care and let us take a look, because it could be completely normal pattern and let us take your worry that something more is going on.
