Hi
He might be catching virals commonly. You need to check the temperature and duration of fever.
Keep vaccination up-to-date and rule out anemia, vit B12 and vit D3 deficiency through blood test

He may be getting viral infections every month or so. This is normal at his age where he is being exposed to different infections so as to develop immunity later on. But please see, if your child is gaining weight, is eating well and is active. If he is otherwise normal, you don't need to worry.
