🌡️ “Why is my child always sick?” Let’s talk about it! 🤧💛
If it feels like your little one catches every bug going around… you’re not alone! Young children can get 8–12 viral illnesses a year. Their immune systems are still learning, and each sniffle or fever is helping them build strong defenses for the future.
Here’s what’s normal and when to check in with us:
✅ Normal:
• Frequent colds, runny noses, and coughs
• Illnesses lasting 7–10 days
• More germs during fall & winter
• Kids bouncing back in between
📞 Call us if you notice:
• Trouble breathing
• Dehydration
• Fever lasting more than 5 days
• Your child not improving or acting very unlike themselves
💡 Tips to help:
• Hand-washing is powerful!
• Plenty of rest & fluids
• Keep vaccinations up to date
• Let us know if you ever need guidance — that’s what we’re here for!
Your child isn’t “always sick”—they’re building a strong immune system one germ at a time. 💪🧡
