6 yr old has constant colds

[worriedmom2004]

My 6yr old son has a cold that won't go away or it gets better for a few days and then it returns. He gets runny nose, fever and mostly cough. It seems to happen more during the school year. I take him to his pediatrician, he says that my son just keeps getting reinfected with the cold virus - that one bout hasn't fully worn off when he gets infected again. He says that is normal for some kids and they will outgrow it when their immune system gets better as they get older and that no medication is required. Do I need to worry, because it's a cold that seems to not go away. Could it be something else? Please advice.

i actually had to repeat pre-1-a because i was out all year as your son only i kepy getting strept i took rosox and schizandra -a produt sold by herbalife distributers, and the next year i didnt get sick once it does recurr when im over tired or stressed out now as an adult and i know just what its from My advice to you would be an alternative medicine and you might want to see if there is an emotional trauma causing him to get sick(like a kid bullying him at school ro something )the human body can sometimes react to emotional things physically! all the best and may your son have a full recovery

Hye!

How long was the infant fed on mother's milk?
Colostrum is a compound that is naturally occurring in mother's milk that boosts an infants natural immunity against such and certain other conditions. Medical stores/pharmacies now a days provide exogenous (dried) colostrum powder that can be supplemented to an infants that has failed to get adequate amount of mother's milk due to some or the other reasons.

Please check with your nearest pharmacy & after getting a clearance from a registered pharmacist, pediatrician or a physician - supplement colostrum powder to your infant. I hope and wish this will help at the earliest.

All the best,

I think your doctor is right although, has he recommended children vitamins? When Vitamin D levels are lower people tend to get sick more frequently

A clinical trial led by Mitsuyoshi Urashima and conducted by the Division of Molecular Epidemiology in the the Department of Pediatrics at the Jikei University School of Medicine Minato-ku in Tokyo found that vitamin D was extremely effective at halting influenza infections in children. The trial appears in the March, 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr (March 10, 2010). doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.29094)

The results are from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 334 children, half of which were given 1200 IUs per day of vitamin D3. In other words, this was a "rigorous" scientific study meeting the gold standard of scientific evidence.

In the study, while 31 of 167 children in the placebo group contracted influenza over the four month duration of the study, only 18 of 168 children in the vitamin D group did. This means vitamin D was responsible for an absolute reduction of nearly 8 percent.

Flu vaccines, according to the latest scientific evidence, achieve a 1 percent reduction in influenza symptoms (http://www.naturalnews.com/029641_v...).
