Regular cold in toddler
Hi Doctor,
My son is 2.7 years old. He's been getting cold regularly since past 6-8 months almost on a monthly basis. I'm concerned that he might not have the required immunity and I'm worried about the amount of syrup he has been drinking since then. Kindly let me know if this is a matter of concern
Note: he was a very healthy child till 1.5 years and fell sick only a couple of times untill then. We have moved to Bangalore around 9 months ago.
Thanks

It's totally normal for kids of this age to fall sick often.
If the illness is mild and baby is active and playful during illness then nothing to worry.
