Child is constantly sick. Input please.
DD has had a stomach bug 2 times in 1 month and has a nasty cough with a runny nose now 3 times in a month. She is not catching a break. I have been making sure she washes her hands very well with warm water and soap I have been disinfecting my house every day for the past month and it's not ending. I don't know what else to do.

Does she go to daycare?
Eta I only ask because people bring sick kids to daycare all the time. Alot of time things don't get washed properly. (I used to work hours off the clock just to clean my daycare rooms toys) So if she does her immune system is taking a hit..

Vitamins? Maybe do stuff to boost the immune system.

She does go to daycare and pre k. 2 different places. All the kids at daycare have had a cold but no stomach bug. The kids at pre k have had a stomach bug and I'm thinking one sent their kid to pre k sick. The little girl threw up in the morning and mom tried denying it but her kid totally threw her under the bus.

Unfortunately she's gonna have to build up her immune system. My nephew was sick for months and months because of daycare. Maybe talk to her pedi about vitamins that he or she would suggest to help like pp said.

Even for daycare, that's a lot of illness in a short amount of time. My son averaged a cold every other month when he was in daycare, which his pedi said was normal. My concern would be that everyone else isn't washing their hands and disinfecting items the way they should be.

This is how I was as a child and still am. I didn't get an answer until last year as to why.
I have extremely low white blood cell counts. A lot of doctors dismissed it as just being sick but that's not what it was.
I would look into her immune system and white blood cells. Honestly when my blood was drawn they asked if I was under going cancer treatment.

So we went into the Drs. She has sinusitis. He said the post nasal drip could be what's causing the nausea. He recommended a complete multivitamin. So we got her augmenton and a multivitamin. Me and DF are debating on if I should quit my job and me just stay home with the kids. I've called in 4 times in the past month due to sick children and it's just not feasible with how much we pay out for daycare.
