A. that can happen it is very common that children will fall ill again and again that is within one or two months sometimes before 5 years of age. this falling ill is just steps to to immunity build up in these children and you will see that after 5 years they will not fall ill that much xfrequently. till that time just take care of regular diet made from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits and do not give outside packet foods and complete the vaccination of the child
