Your pediatrician : Can order labs to determine if your child has an immunodeficiency. If so, a referral to an allergist-immunologist is in order. Healthy children who attend preschool can catch upper respiratory infections often, so the pediatrician will want to know the types of infections , their severity, duration & complications. Keep a journal of the pattern of illnesses & take it with you to the appointment.
