Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 , My daughter, Chelsea, gets sick very easily as well. She has been tested for immunodeficiencies and has none. I think her body just does not have the energy to keep her immune system going like it should, especially when it becomes overwhelmed by germs. Chelsea was sick from Halloween thru New Year's and finally got better, but today she has been coughing up yellowish secretions and is very tired, so I am afraid she is coming down with something. . . again! I wish there was SOME way to prevent her from catching everything, but short of putting her in a plastic bubble, I don't think that's possible! Chelsea also is very prone to ear infections. When she started getting them last summer due to allergies and teething, we decided it was time to get her ear tubes. They have been great! She does not get near as many infections and tolerated the short surgery much better than others. The other week, her right ear was draining quite a bit, and I was able to clear it up by using antibiotic ear drops. so she did not have to go on oral antibiotics. Something to consider if he gets an ear infection every time he gets congested. Hope he gets better soon=) e, Chelsea's mom(nonspecific mito) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
