Frequently infection
My 5 year old kid had gastroenteritis 20 days back and recovered. A week later he got a severe cold and recovered. A week after that he got conjunctivitis. Every week after next, he is getting some infection and it keeps us worrying. Earlier he was not like that. Now what could be the reason? He is a very picky eater and we can't force feed also. He is 17.5 kg and looks thin. His height is 115 cm. Otherwise he is active at home and school. Is his immunity poor?
