XP: 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!

    Sorry you are going through this, but I work at a large children's hospital and this is the worst season for us since 2003.  There are so many things going around so not a surprise she is getting it all.  I would suggest trying to see an infe

    My 14 month old has not had it as rough as yours but she been battling something or other since mid-December. It's mostly been colds but she has had Roseola, Hand, Foot, and Mouth, a couple minor ear infections, and conjunctivitis as well. Let's hope Spri

    I have dealt with this for the last 10 months. After DS puked on the ENT in January, we were finally referred to a pediatric Immunologist and taken seriously.

    For most of our visits with his pedi, ER staff, and other specialists, I was treated l
