my 11 month old DD is sick all the time!! she has had a cold on and off for the majority of the last 2 months! she was on antibiotics for an upper respiritorary tract infection then three weeks later antibiotics for a throat infection. i just finished the second antibitotics and two days later she now has another high temperatutre! what the heck is going on here? is it normal for her to be sick so much? there was aboy who died from the flu in brisbane and i am now scared that this is or could happen to my DD! i have been to the doctor a million times in the last 2 months and i dont know whether i should take her back again, she was just there 4 days ago with conjuncivitis!

here are some qns about the flu:
1. is this strain of deadly flu likely to kill every child who gets it or did it somehow just affect that poor boy in the most extreme way?
2. was it the flu that kills or a secondary thing such as dehydration, etc?
3. what if your baby has a temp but is eating and drinking well and happily playing (but has nasal discharge and cough) should we see doc for that?

i am probably being a paranoid mother!!!! i wish it would just hurry up and be summer!
