Desperate (illness related)

I am a first time mom so maybe I am overreacting but I feel like I might lose it. Since about a week before Christmas my daughter (now 14 months old) has had RSV, flu type B, croup, a double ear infection and a mystery virus that caused 8 straight days of fever spikes every 4-6 hours.  She has not had more than 3-4 days of being "healthy" in this period of time.  Then this weekend she started having a green/yellow mucous coming out of her right eye.  Last night I noticed a small fever at 100, and now daycare just called a few minutes ago to send her home with a fever.  Is it possible that my child seriously has that bad of luck and/or the worst immune system possible?  Almost every time the doctors (she has seen multiple based on availability and the need for emergency or after hour care) tell me its because she is in daycare and its been a bad flu season but with each passing week/new illness my gut just keeps telling me there is something bigger here we are all missing.  I don't know what to do!  Honestly, I know you all are not doctors so I don't really know what I am looking for.  Maybe reassurance that I am not crazy? Or similar experiences? Anything I guess.  Thanks in advance!

 

ETA: When I say more than 3-4 days of being healthy, I mean at one time.  She will be sick for 2 weeks, then have 3-4 days of being as close to healthy as it seems she will be.  And then she repeats the process. Over and over and over again.  My poor daughter!

I'd have some bloodwork done to see if it's something simple like a vitamin deficiency that's causing it.

TBH though, some kids are just that unlucky. My nephew is like that. He catches everything from daycare, from his cousins, whatever is on t

She may just be unlucky and catch everything but she also may have an immune disorder. It's not out of the questions. I would bring it up at her next well child visit and see if maybe your ped would order the blood work to test for any immune deficiency.

I don't blame you for being worried. I would try another pedi just to get a second opinion. Even if you completly trust your pedi sometimes a new set of ears can help. Maybe she is just unlucky but you should rule out anything else first.

Really sorry for your daughter.  I do, however, think this can be normal of some children.  When DD first started daycare at 3mo she was great, but the facility was large.  When she moved up classrooms into the older infant room at 6mo she

Thanks everyone!  I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for when I posted, but whatever it was, I got it. :-)  I feel better now.  She has a dr. appt in the morning and I am going to try to broach my concerns with her again.

That was us from 12 - 16 months last year.

In that period, he had a couple horrible colds, random fevers, pink eye, multiple ear infections, a sinus infection, roseola, and HFM. I posted something similar last year, worried that there w

Is your Daugther been in DC before?, I put my DD in daycare for the first time when she was 13 months and every since she got there she was catching everything! And before DC she was a really healthy baby she had never have a cold or anything! our pediatr

My DS2 has struggled a little this year too. DS1 was a much healthier kiddo so that has made this hard for me. I also worry the times when he's not been feeling well have left hims struggling a little to meet milestones, because so many times he's just

My DD has been sick almost constantly since I started her at daycare in August. There have been a few weeks here and there where she wasn't, but not very many. She seems to get everything that comes around as well. She pretty much has a constant runny
