We have taken him to the doctor 3 times within the past 3 months, they say "another virual infection". I am wonder if it could be something else.
Allergies?

No, it is not allergies. Allergies do not cause a fever. It is pretty common for small children to have frequent viruses. As he gets older, the frequency will decrease. However, it might be a good idea to make sure he has a healthy immune system. Ask your doctor to refer you to an immunologist who can do tests to make sure he is capable of fighting off infections appropriately.

Have your son drink the following hot fluids:
1. Lemon Zinger Tea (for his cold or flu)
2. Ginger Tea (for his nausea and tummy aches)
3. Echinacea Complete Care Wellness Tea (for his immune system)
4. Hops Tea (for headaches)

I would definitely seek another opinion,if they keep saying viral infection I would have blood work done on him.
