What Causes Low Immunity Levels In A Child?
My 5 year old has been constantly getting sick these past few months. From strep, stomach bug, and some mystery virus that gives her a high grade fever, but has no other symptoms. I m worried that I am the problem. Is it because we have dogs that live in the house? We don t eat very healthy? I haven t given them vitamins? I don t clean my house well? I just want a healthy kid who won t miss another fun activity because she is sick!

HI
Well come to HCM
Appreciate this
Such illness on and often in some children could be due to low immune system
Advise:
Take care in diet, hydration, hygiene, good sleep, hemoglobin level
Chronic infection need to be ruled out and treated properly, always avoid un-necessary medication no need to worry, as the child grow old this would be fine soon, take care.
