A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not uncommon: Young kids are expected to have 5-7 URI's/yr until age 5 when the frequency drops some. They cluster around winter & any other situations where viruses are about & people gather in homes/stores. As the airways grow larger & the kids develop more immunity the amount of symptoms declines as does frequency of illness. This is neither uncommon or preventable in most kids. Good hand washing helps some
