Answers:
I would take her to an ENT, an ear, nose and throat specialist!. She needs a complete check-up!. Something is definitely wrong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like she has a weak immune system!. Hopefully she eats plenty of fruit and vegetables every day as that is where your vitamin C comes from!. Perhaps a children's multivitamin every day would help!. Some extra vitamin C helps to boost your immune system!.

There could perhaps be some underlying illness but the doctor wasn't particularly helpful!. The antibiotics that she gave her were probably for the sore throat, coughing and headaches that the doctor seems to regard as a one-off illness!. Sounds to me like your doctor is not a very good doctor as she didn't seem to be very interested in your daughter's history of ill health!. Perhaps you need a doctor who is more interested in your daughter's medical history!.

Well, I don't think you are being a worrier!. And I think more follow up is needed from your doctor!.

There could be underlying problems like auto-immune disorders and such that could cause someone to be sick all the time!. Sounds like a through blood workup is needed to rule out underlying causes like that!.

If you don't think your doctor is doing enough to investigate what might be causing her to feel sick all the time, you need to find a new doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My son used to get strep and upper respiratory infections, colds etc!. all the time, also ear infections!. I took him to an ENT and they removed his tonsil and adenoids!. He has been so much better ever since!. He also had mild asthma which he has pretty much grown out of and he does have allergies!. I would try an ENT and an allergist!. Its probably very simple and not serious, I was so worried and my son is fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sure sounds like daughter might have low immunity problems!.i'd see bout getting your dr!. to check it out & write a script for blood work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
