“Day Care Syndrome” refers to the tendency of children to have recurrent infections when they start attending day care. It is quite normal for a child to have Upper Respiratory or Gastroenteritis infections just about every month during their first year in day care. Parents of pre-school children can be all too familiar with the feeling that their child is “sick all the time.” A young child’s immune system is still “immature” and he will be susceptible to every disease he comes across. Over time the immune system strengthens and by the time a child goes to kindergarten or primary school the infections should become less frequent.
However, warning lights start flashing when a child displays one or more of the following symptoms.
- Not gaining weight or growing according to their growth chart.
- 8 or more new ear infections per year.
- 2 or more serious sinus infections per year.
- 2 or more Pneumonia’s per year.
- 1 or more instances of ulcers of the mouth (or elsewhere on the body) after the age of one.
- 2 or more deep or very serious infections that requires hospitalization or intravenous antibiotics.
- Recurrent abscesses of the skin or organs.
- 2 or more months on antibiotics without much effect.
The above mentioned symptoms could be an indication of possible Immuno Deficiency and it would be wise to contact a Pediatrician for closer investigation.
