Is it just nursery or is it more serious ?

[HJWT]

My DD is 3, her first year of nursery she did get ill but wasn't to bad! This year however she is ill every week! She so far since beginning of Dec has has colds, coughs, ear infection, tonsillitis, conjunctivitis and now she has S&D!! She only goes twice a week (tue & thurs) and now is going Tuesday and she ends up ill that night or day after so misses Thursday 🤦🏻‍♀️

She also has started napping again and I'm not sure if she is starting to look more pale or whether she is just taking after me (I was always told I looked ill as a child from being so pale)

Surely her immune system can't be this crap? AIBU to go to the GP and ask for blood tests?

Toddlers are known as super carriers for good reason. This experience is not unual and she is probably feeling run down as she fights off all these illnesses. You are doing the right thing to ensure she is getting enough vitamins and rest to support her immune sytem. Her immunity will no doubt strengthen ans so when she goes to school she will resist these bugs better. Winter time and close proximity to other children is the problem. However she may well be getting other huge benefits from the socialisation and it will help her cope with school

My DD was ill every week for a year at nursery but that was 2 years ago and she's not been ill since. it was hellish but she did get over it!

Id shes been constantly ill, is looking pale and is tired then it would be worth ruling out anaemia. But do it through the doctor and bit just by buying supplements.

I think everyone goes through a really bad run of illness with kids in nursery. I remember thinking that I would have to give up work permanently because my daughter was so relentlessly ill. It got better. She now hasn’t been ill for eight months (crossing fingers and toes that it lasts)
