Not really: The average child has 5-8 respiratory infections in the first year of life.I realize it's frustrating but constant cold symptoms in young children is not uncommon, and it only gets worse as winter is coming. Is your child in daycare? Are there smokers in the home? That makes things worse. Keep your appt. with the allergist if you like but hold off on the ENT until your pediatrician sends you.
