Hi,

It is common for young children to get sick especially when weather changes.

Apart upper respiratory tract infection, they often complain of stomach issues.

As this has been going for over 1 month, if I was his caring doctor would advise to run further tests to determine why he is having such complains at this frequent:
- culture of stool to rule out pathological bacteria/candida infection
- examination of stool for ova/parasites
- abdominal ultrasound
- complete blood count to rule out anemia
- measure blood electrolytes level to rule out vitamins deficiencies (vit.D,calcium, etc.)

Hope it was of help!
