It's concerning that your son is experiencing frequent cold and fever episodes. Recurrent illnesses can be common in young children, especially after starting playschool, due to increased exposure to germs. Here are some steps to consider:
1. Review Hygiene Practices: Ensure thorough handwashing and teach him to cover his mouth while coughing or sneezing.
2. Strengthen Immunity: Balanced diet, regular sleep, and physical activity can boost his immune system.
3. Vaccination Check: Make sure all vaccinations are up to date for age-related immunity.
4. Monitor Illness Patterns: Notice any triggers or patterns that might indicate allergies or other underlying issues.
Next Steps
It’s essential to work closely with your pediatrician to manage his symptoms and possibly improve his resistance to infections. If there’s no improvement, further investigations might be recommended. Keep a record of his symptoms and treatments to discuss during your next visit.
Health Tips
Consult a Pediatrician: If infections persist, a detailed evaluation by a pediatric specialist might be necessary to rule out other causes. You may consider a teleconsult with me for detailed discussion. Thank you. Signing off. Dr. Shravan Reddy.
