None stop colds and coughs

I'm not exaggerating now when I say my 3 year old and 7 month old have had a cold/cough since September!!!! It's obviously not the same one but as soon as they start recovering from one my 3 year old catches another one and then brings it home. It's relentless, it's making my anxiety so high. My 7 month old won't sleep longer than 2/3 hours and I feel like I'm at breaking point. Is anyone else finding the same with their LOs? We are doing covid PCR tests weekly on my 3 year old because she is always symptomatic. Luckily they have all been negative so far but I am at the point of just putting her in a lockdown myself to try and break the cycle of the endless germs and illnesses so we can all just catch a break.
Sorry for my rant! I just feel like I'm at breaking point with it all now.

It’s the repeated temperatures that worry me. Are we the only ones dealing with temps every few weeks? It can be difficult to see a GP and sometimes I think I’m over reacting but I just don’t think it can be normal to have a fever so often! LO has had check ups and nothing has been picked up but it really worries me.

Fevers are actually a good thing as the body purposefully raises it's temperature to kill a virus / illness. Obviously a really high temp is dodgy but yeah fevers in general are a very useful defense mechanism of the body.
