I hope he feels better REAL SOON. now my little guy has been sick most of his life fighting colds has had 2 bouts of pneumonia(by the age of 2) and was just catching everything that went around okay the doctors ran the normal test on him yep viral. they said it was allergies (No I don't think so) so they referred him to an allergist/immune specialist(same doctor) no allergies. then this doctor said he has been ill too many times and ran a full series of blood work, well they found out the reasons he was getting sick all of the time was due to a very low immune system we had some choices to make. get him 2 booster shot(DTaP and the pneumovax) , start him on antibitoic orally everyday for 6 months or get IV antiboitic once a month for 24 hours for 6 months. we choose to start with the boosters to see. he said it would take 2-3 months to get his immune system up there but then they would repeat the test. that was 2 years ago he was doing great, now he is getting sick all over again so they want to recheck his immune system to figure out what is going on again.
this is just a thought I hope they can figure out what is going on with him.
also have they tested him for RSV?
good luck
