My three year old DD has today started with her fifth cold of 2019. The last one was 2.5 weeks ago, and the one before was 3 weeks before that. When she has colds, she struggles with wheeze, so needs to use her blue inhaler regularly and coughs a lot. The wheeze element doesn’t tend to last too long though (48 hours max usually). She also has a brown inhaler and takes Montelukast at night when unwell as doctors suspect asthma.
I know kids get a lot of colds but really, is this normal?! She’s been going to the same nursery 3 days a week since she was 10 months old, so it’s not like she’s just started preschool or anything, yet this is the worst run of colds she’s had. I read somewhere that kids normally have 6-8 colds in a year, she’s on 5 for 2019 and it’s not even May!
Anyone else experienced this?
