Well, in half an hour I'm off to the doctor. I have my 43rd cold/sore throat of the season (only exaggerating slightly!), and I have had enough. I have been sick more often this year (dd's first full year at school) than the past 5 years combined! I should buy shares in the companies that manufacture Day Nurse, chewable vitamin C, throat lozenges, etc.
I'd always heard that children are sick alot the first year or two that they're in full time school. Also heard that they suffer for perhaps 48 hours, and then infect the parents who suffer for 2 or 3 times that long!
Have the rest of you experienced this too? Any wonderful solutions for how to avoid every germ around? I'm sick of being sick! Help!
