Back to back colds

4 replies

Hiya, my 14mo has started nursery back in January and since he’s started he’s been having back to back colds for 4 weeks.He’ll get to the end of one then he starts coughing and having blocked nose/sneezing all over again. Is this normal? I know they say the first year is the worst year for them because they need to build an immune system but with no breaks?

thank you!

Yep, my 2 year old started in September and has had colds, coughs, ear infection, hand foot and mouth and conjunctivitis. He's got a cold and cough now. It's neverending 😭 I'm hoping that by next winter his immune system is stellar😂

@Devilsmommy aww no, so far he had a suspected ear or chest infection (doctor couldn’t hear his chest properly because he was crying) conjunctivitis and colds 😩 I’m so tired of it, it’s getting me upset because it looks like he was getting better then bam new cold 😩, when your little one was going through it, was it back to back or did they have a break between them? Just really concerned he hasn’t had a break from it apart from a day or two x
