Cough and cold

Just wondered if anyone has/is going through the same with their toddler... My 18 month old has pretty much had a constant cough/cold since starting nursery last May. Since July there's only been a few weeks where she hasn't had anything at all. Since new year alone she's had a chest infection, conjunctivitis and impetigo. She has her vitamins everyday, loves her fruit and veg and generally eats so well. The GP has tried an inhaler for the cough to try and rule out asthma but the inhaler didn't make a difference.

Has anyone been through this with their child where they constantly ill? Does it get any better? 9 months at nursery now and I thought we'd see an improvement...
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Same boat here with my 3 year old ! Pretty much been poorly since September when starting nursery. We've had numerous infections , bugs and temps and always seems to have a runny nose /cough. He also passes everything onto his baby sister so she constantly has a runny nose as well!

I've been told first few years of childcare are tough for children, especially since covid as they have not built up immunity.

I'm hoping it gets easier!

I've been trying to ensure my 3 year pldbhas multivitamins everyday
