Frequent colds: Recurrent cold symptoms are common, especially in families who have children in daycare. Encourage good hand washing at home but most of these infections cannot be prevented. As long as they are self-limited and not associated with more severe symptoms there is nothing to worry about. Consider consulting with immunologist for further workup and evaluation if concerned or symptoms are refractory.
