Baby constantly sick

FTM and I don't know if my son is okay. He's almost 11 months old and working the last 7 weeks alone he has had croup twice, stomach bug, tonsillitis and chicken pox. He never goes anywhere other than his grandparents houses for childcare when I'm working since he is constantly sick with something. We've been to maybe 2 baby groups since October because he is always ill and I don't want to spread it to other kids.
I feel like it's not normal for a kid to be sick so much. We're all exhausted.l and I don't know what to do anymore. Has anyone else experienced this, and do I need to get him help?

I'd speak to GP if you're worried, or Health Visitor. My DC1 had one thing after another just like your little one - it was miserable for her and exhausting for me! So much calpol! But her immune system is great now! If your baby has had any antibiotics, could be worth asking pharmacist if probiotics would do anything for immune system. But it's that time of year when there are bugs everywhere so while I'd get peace of mind getting baby checked out, it probably is just a bad run of illnesses? Flowers
