Brief Answer:
Please, have you been screened for allergies?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these recurrent infections that you have reported. I have reviewed the information provided. If these infections are mostly of the respiratory tract like nose, throat, etcs., then you could have an allergic condition that is not being well managed. How often do you get a runny nose? How often to you get itchy throat? How often do you find rash on your body? If these are common occurrences, then you would need to be investigated for possible allergies so that they can be identified and your exposure to them reduced to limit these recurrent episodes of respiratory tract infections.

Looking back at 5-6years ago, did anything change in your life? Did you move into a new locality? Did you started trying something new? Is there any major change that accompanied the onset of these symptoms?

In all, possible allergies. Get tested fr allergen to be identified and eliminated from constant exposure to.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for following up with me.
Your symptoms and the treatment you are taking is very suggestive of the suspicion of an allergic terrain. What causes this cannot be established without a proper interrogation to understand your milieu and products that you use. This would be followed by testing to identify what the allergen among the identified possible causes is. For this, it would be best to talk to an immunologist/allergist. They would be able to provide the ultimate testing, identification and management of this condition.

I hope this helps. Let me hear from you to know what your take is and whether there is more we need to address at this time. I wish you well.
