Viral illness: Your son will acquire numerous infections during the pre school and school age years. His immune system will develop antibodies to fight the infections. Your PCP will evaluate whether there is a bacterial illness. Viral illlnesses are not treated with antibiotics which treat bacterial infections. The pattern of recurring infections if abnormal, may lead to additional tests.
