Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my two 1/2 year old has been bitten 4 times at a day care now. By a little boy who is a little bit younger than her. He has bitten her hard enough to bruise her arm and the bruise stays for up to a week or two a time. She is small for her age. She is a primordial dwarf. The problem is that almost every time she has been bitten, (which has fallen around any where to a few weeks to a month a part) she has gotten sick within a day or two after with cold like or viral infection symptoms. Could a bite that does not break the skin, but leaves a dark bruise cause her to get sick? He has asthma and is on asthma medication. We are concerned because she was bit a few days ago and she is already getting cold symptoms. We did not really think about the fact she had gotten sick every time until some one had pointed it out today. Could his bite do this to her, since he is biting her so hard?
Hi... by what you quote I feel that your kid is going through recurrent viral illnesses, which are very common in search scenarios like kindergarten and play school. Definitely there is no relation between the kid biting her and her illness. Do not worry about it.

Can A Bite By Child Cause Sickness?
