Frequent colds and coughs are common in a 2year old child,especially if going to a daycare centre. these are mostly viral infections. But you also need to keep other things in mind like childhood wheezing and allergic rhinitis which is frequently seen these days. Does the child have wheezing and running/blocked nose with these episodes then you need to consult an allergist. Frequent use of cough syrups and antibiotics is not advisable. Also try to build the childs immunity by giving nutritional supplements with consultation of your pediatrician.
