5.7 year old girl falling ill frequently
My 5.7 years old daughter is falling ill frequently, with fever, cold and cough. Almost every 8-10 days. Her weight is around 18kgs. She gets better in 3-4 days after giving medicines. Again falls ill in a week or two. Temperature ranges from 99-103 usually. Comes down in a day and stays 99+ for 2 more days.
She doesn't eat much during illness and appetite slowly improves after that. But again she falls ill and the cycle repeats.
This has been happening for last 2 months, since she started school this year. Her doctor said it's happening with all the kids this year, and has increased over the last month as it's flu season.
Should I get further investigations done or is it ok?
