I’m worried about my dd11’s health.

[RedDreamer1]

So my dd11 gets colds quite often and she’s had verrucas for a few years now that won’t go away no matter what I’ve tried. I’m hoping her immune system is okay. I rarely get colds and have never had a verruca. Aibu?

Bump

I am not sure I see the correlation between varuccas and colds?

For the varuccas, those need to be treated with some kind of acid solution - they're usually pretty effective.

For the colds, that's a bit more difficult to assess. How bad are these colds, and how often does she have them? If she's just regularly or constantly a bit sniffly and snotty, I'd be wondering about allergies/hay fever and/or longer-term sinus issues that flare up now and again. Low level colds a few times a year - pretty normal.

If she's getting full blown colds and fever multiple times per year, I would be checking in with the doctors

I was plagued with verrucas when I was between the ages of 11 to about 14. We tried loads of treatments and they were so hard to get rid of. One day, they just went and I haven't had them since. They can be really hard to clear. Regarding the colds, is she taking a multivitamin? Good with hand washing etc. If concerned perhaps take her for a blood test just to rule anything out like vitamin deficiency that may be making her run down.

Yeah she’s taking a multivitamin.

She gets a cold around once a month.

I can’t remember the last time my 12 year old had a cold. Once a month sounds a lot to me. Maybe make an appointment with the GP?

My daughter's podiatrist definitely suggested a link between hard to shift verrucae and poor health. If I remember correctly she says all the medicines do is to stimulate the immune system (well, maybe there's other benefits too, but I can't speak to those)

Slightly missed the main point in my last post.

Is the cold a wipe-her-out kind of cold or just a bit sniffly?

Have they had full blood test? They might have a deficiency which is why their immune system could be compromised e.g. low iron.

Op your answers are ot helping. Why do you think its linked? What kind of cold are wr taking - full blown infection and masses of snot, generally a bit sniffy, sick enough to stay home?

Your details are vague.

What does Dr say?
