If it feels like your child is always sick, you’re not imagining it. Children—especially those under age six—can experience 8 to 12 colds or infections a year. Our experienced pediatrician in San Antonio helps parents distinguish between normal immune system development and when repeated illness might require closer evaluation. During a sick visit or follow-up exam, we track the frequency and type of infections, check for underlying issues like allergies or enlarged tonsils, and assess how quickly your child recovers. We also look for signs that could suggest immune deficiencies or chronic inflammation. In some cases, preventive measures like probiotics, lifestyle shifts, or specific testing can help improve resilience. Most importantly, we teach you what’s expected, what’s not, and what to do next—so you don’t have to feel helpless every time the sniffles return. Our clinic supports your child’s immunity with real answers and a team that takes your concerns seriously.
