Why 10yr child keeps have uri?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Is it URI: The average 10 yo will have about 3 uri's/yr based on population studies. If the itchy eyes & runny nose seems to be more frequent it may be due to irritant reactions (smoke, fumes, dust) or airborn allergies.

Is there a pattern of other infections, such as skin infections, unusual infections or complications, including pneumonia? If so, an immune workup may be indicated. A virtual consuitation with Healthtap is available. Rinse nasal passages with saline to provide relief of nasal congestion. Monitor temperature and breathing during the illness. Agree allergic another cause.
