Hey ladies, has anyone gone through this and can share their stories and experience? Just to clarify, this isn't about my younger one. It's been a month since school started, and my older daughter is already sick for the third time. She's turning 9 in a couple of weeks. First, I caught something mild, you know, just a cough and a slight fever (100°F). I got better, but then my younger one brought home a virus from daycare, with a 103°F fever and a fiery red throat. Her whole class got sick with the same symptoms, and my older daughter caught it too. She spent 2 weeks at school, and yesterday evening and through the night, her fever was back up to 103°F. The doctor came, said her lungs were clear, throat too, just a few coughs and a little stuffy nose. As a very anxious mom, I've already spiraled completely. Our pediatrician is coming back from vacation soon, and I'll ask her for a list of tests to run to figure out why her immunity is so low. I'd also like to check her digestive system, there are some things that worry me. She has no appetite, her diet is terribly poor, so how can she have immunity if her nutrition is so bad? But maybe some of you have kids who get sick often or have been through this? Maybe you can share some ideas on how to improve the situation? Thanks, everyone!

Everything just worked out on its own, there was nothing I could do.

I had the same thing until 3rd grade. Now it's kind of sorted itself out.

My son used to be a frequent sicky, picky eater in kindergarten. Now he's 10 and doesn't get sick any more often than others. He eats more than his sisters.
In 2024, I got tired of catering to his food preferences. Eat what you're given, you can't possibly be hungry all the time. It passed with time)

Anita Better from age 5, but I still had plenty of problems in elementary school. It got better later.

You just need to send in your immunodeficiency tests.

Nadezhda My little one didn't eat oranges, cottage cheese, berries, nuts, or fish (started). Still not eating salads.

Nadezhda My diet is honestly terrible. For breakfast, I have oatmeal, boiled eggs, or scrambled eggs. For lunch, soup, but only noodle, buckwheat, borscht, or cheese soup at most. I've grown to love crab stick salad. For the second course, she might eat mashed potatoes, chicken cutlets, or chicken schnitzel. That's the normal food. Otherwise, it's pasta, sausages, dumplings. Nothing good, really. Well, I just fried some pancakes, and she wolfed them down with Nutella. She doesn't eat cottage cheese, and I have to force her to eat fish, but only if it's boneless. She only likes cucumbers for veggies. Berries like raspberries, grapes, tangerines, strawberries. But she eats them all without much enthusiasm.

Are you taking your vitamins?

There was this one year I was constantly sick – three bouts of laryngitis, a stomach bug, and something else. We did a lot of tests, including for viruses, which came back negative. My digestive system has always been weak. The doctor said if I got sick again soon, I'd need to take immunomodulators for three months or even six. But somehow, it just passed on its own back then.

Yulya You should go to an immunologist and ask for a referral to check for immunodeficiency. There's a long list when my daughter had it done. It was called an immune status.

Yeah, I was such a picky eater as a kid, I only ate pasta. I never got sick, though.

A friend's son was often sick. They went to an immunologist at a speed center, who said it helped a lot. I periodically give my son Bactoblis for a month, about twice a year. It helps normalize the microflora in the nose and throat.

My oldest son was sick constantly when he started kindergarten, and the same in elementary school. Then, a year ago, we enrolled him in sports, and he started getting sick much less often.

Swimming helps us; maybe the chlorinated water flushes out the nasopharynx, 🤓. But last year, my older one didn't go swimming and had a runny nose once a month. Mine are all picky eaters, though. Nutrition really affects immunity too. Lots of seasonal fruits and veggies. I keep them cut up right on the table. They won't get them from the fridge themselves and wash them – lazy bones.

Nadezhda My son also ate the same thing for a very long time. He only started trying new things around 4th grade. It was a real problem for me too
