What Causes Recurring Sickness And Ear Infections In A Child?

My 4-year-old son keeps getting sick since starting preschool in April. He gets sick, recovers, and then after 2 weeks, gets sick again. He has had ear infections twice already. I ve taken him to see his pediatrician 4 times since April. Should I be insisting on some tests to determine if there is anything more serious going on?

Hi,

You should do complete blood picture to see if he has a low immunity, Children at this age might have a low one and it improves as they grow up.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
