Worried about toddler medication

Hi mums,

My DS turns 18 months tomorrow and has started nursery since September. It was all going well for us and she is settling really well until the sickness wave hit us. So basically, she has been sick since October and I am not exaggerating when I say we have been to A&E most weekends since October including the last weekend. It's always a nose or ear or throat infection and she has been prescribed antibiotic atleast 5 times now. This along with the regular doses of calpol and nurofen as her temp shoots up to 40. I am sure the doctors know what they are doing, but worried as a mum on the amount of medication she takes.. literally she takes more medicines than food 😪.. she is quite lanky ( ebf till 15 months) so doesn't take bottle nor likes cows milk.. so am worried about her nutrition and also she is not getting a chance to recover as as soon as she gets out of one infection she goes down with another.. we both work full time and do our best to take care, worried sick about her food and so much medicine intake.. would really be grateful for some guidance and if you can share your experience.

Thanks much
