Question
Can my new apartment be making us all sick? What can I do to find out?
My husband, daughter and I moved into a new apartment 6 weeks ago. I immediately became sick with severe cold and coughing and I thought maybe I was just developing allergies in my mid thirties but my 2 year old got sick shortly after and then finally after 3 weeks my husband as well. My daughter and I are home much more than he is. My cough has become constant and severe with bad cold symptoms as well. My daughter too. We can not sleep because we cough all night.. I have tried allergy meds and cough meds but it is a dry cough that has been getting continually worse for about 7 weeks.. I feel like it is our apartment but I have no idea how to find that kind of stuff out. I cannot move again. We have had to move 3 times this year due to the fall in the construction business and I just do not know what to do. Doctors say nothing and when my daughters friends share her cups and toys and stuff, they do not get sick. Just us. Am I crazy? It is effecting my exercising and my daily life and I need to fix it..

Contact your local municipal health department for assistance. You may have molds in the apartment which are causing such ailments. Most local health departments will send a representative to assist you in analyzing the living situation in your premises.

You need to see your doctor, we are not qualified to diagnose you. If it were something in the apartment it would be an allergy. Since you allow a sick child not only around healthy children, but allow them to share cups my best guess is it might be a sanitation issue.
