🤒 Why Do Kids Get Sick Back-to-Back?
If it feels like your child catches one cold right after another during the school year, you're not imagining it. Kids really can get back-to-back colds or flu-like illnesses. Here's why:
- Different viruses: Recovering from one doesn't protect them from the next.
- Weakened immunity after illness leaves them more vulnerable.
- Classroom exposure means constant germ swapping.
- Seasonal cycles (fall + winter) are peak sick times.
It usually isn't a cause for concern, but if your child is getting sick back-to-back frequently (more than 8-10 times per year), check with your pediatrician.
