My 4 year keeps getting colds and coughs what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Frequent colds: Be aware that your child can have 6 to a dozen colds a year which can run from colds to pneumonia. The reason is because your child doesnt reach adult levels of immunity until 6-7 years of age. Going to school makes him more susceptible to infection.
