Hi all!
Our 16 months old girl started going to the Nursery few months ago, Jan/2022. Since then, not surprisingly, we've been plagued with all sorts of illness related issues. Amongst those, COVID.
One thing that concerns me though is that in the last 3 months, I don't think there's been more than 1 week where she hasn't been congested. She gets better for a few days, and then it comes back. She now has had a cough for more than a month. It gets slightly better but never goes away.
We've been to GP several times and they say she could be just getting reinfected with different bugs since now she's being more exposed to things at the nursery. Tell us the old "wait and assess". And of course we always hear of stories when kids start going to the nursery.
But still, we're puzzled. Is it supposed to be this bad? In the last 3 months she hasn't been completely healthy for more than a week.
I should say, even though she gets runny nose, coughing, She had very little fever in different occasions. During the course of 5 to 10 days together. Overall the episodes haven't been that bad, even when she had fever she was eating and playing normally. (even when it was COVID).
Other than the constant nose wiping, her sleep is not great when she's congested and we are completely exhausted.
In summary, from your experiences, is this common?
Best
