Hi I have a 5 and 10 year old
My 10 year old is very healthy and very rarely ill but my 5 year old constantly has a cough/cold the sooner she is getting over one cold another is round the corner is there something I can do to build her immunity up or is this just a case of a grow out of it situation

Has she been like this since she started school? We seemed to catch everything going in Reception and now my younger DS and I get everything still, but my 6 yo DD seems to be coming out the other side on this.

I think schools are the equivalent of bacteriological warfare. But have been reassured, by other parents, that it calms down after a few years. Smile

Thank goodness and yes that is true she is in her second year of school and it seems to be one illness after another
