Child is sick all of the time

Name: Angie

Pacific, MO

Number of kids: 2

Ages of kids: 6 years and 21months

Problem: My 21 month old son is sick almost constantly. He has colds which then turn in to infections like ear infections and bronchiolitis. When he develops bronchiolitis we have to give him breathing treatments. He is at the pediatrician a couple times a month. Sometimes more. He is constantly taking some kind of medication. I don't know what to do to keep him well!

Solution submitted by Nicky from Quispamsis N.B.: Your child might have food allergies. My son was always sick until I took him off all wheat and milk products. Go and see a nutritionist who deals with childhood allergies. Drooling, red cheeks and ears, excessive spitting up, and hyperactivity also are asthma and eczema are all signs. It has worked for our son who hasn't been sick for a long time.

Please submit any moresolutions.
