[b]My son is sick all the time[/b] - Children's Health Message Board

Since my son was born over two years ago he seems to be sick all the time. What I am wondering is does this mean when he is older he will not be sick that often. Only serious things hes had is casaki virus and chicken pocks(he did have the shot for chicken pocks also)

Is your son in daycare? If so you will probably see more colds etc. Discuss with your DR about echanisha (spelling) It is said to boost the immune system. I have a neighbor that swears by it and her child is rarely ill. You can find the drops in any heath food store and put it in your childs juice. The other issue is proper hand washing. I know it is hard for a 2 year old but start now - teaching how and when to wash up. This should help in eliminating grems. My daughter is 4 and is doing well this year. But in the past had a cold at least once a month. I wish you the best.

Other things you need to check out:
Is your child getting enough good food?
Are you yourself using a lot of unnatural processed food?
Is your child in need of vitamin supplements?
Do you use Fabric softener in your wash, detrimental to kids health?
Do you have pesticides sprayed on your property?
Do you have a lot of carpeting in your dwelling?
Does your sons room have the house electrical connection on the wall?

Your child is ill now...this does NOT mean he will live a illness free life...it could be serious indications of what is to come. Get to the root of the problem now. Befor it is too late!

Mark,

Not to worry I have a 6 year old who managed to get bronchiolitis at the age of 2...it does get better as their immune systems get stonger. My 8 month old has been very sick. He is managing to get sick every 2 months with something. He even had a blood infection derived from a UTI at the age of 3 months. My six year old brings home lots of things from school. Hygiene is definitely important. We always wash our hands. That will help considerably. There are lots of people out there who do not look at the world as we do having delicate little ones at home clinching on to their every antibodi that they have. No one covers their mouth when they cough or sneeze. I have taught my son since he was 3 years old to sneeze/cough in his arm. He still does it to this day. It is the parents responsibility to teach the child. Good hygiene goes a long way!! Good luck to you and your little one.
