A member asked:

If my 26 months old toddler is frequently (once or twice a month) having infections at his day care, should i get him out of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Day care infections: This is common. Many believe that having these infections early in life is excellent for developing immunity to many common viruses. Whether you take him out of this or not is a personal decision. Have had 6 of mine who have been through this and all have become healthy productive adults.
