What Causes Recurrent Cold And Extreme Fatigue?

Hello, I have been experiencing a few symptoms for a while and wonder what might be happening. First, I am getting my third cold since Dec. 12. I was on antibiotics for a sinus infection and they ended about 8 days ago. I have been exhausted for weeks. Simply, I can take a 2-3 hour nap twice a day. I just think it is odd to have so many colds and sinus infections in one year. I chalked it up to travel, but I have only flown one time since Dec. 19th (this past weekend). I ve been thinking that my body aches were just age; knee pain, hip pain. But for years I ve suffered significant neck and shoulder pain. Turning over at night wakes me up due to the pain. So, I have always thought that my exhaustion was because I don t sleep well at night but I think that might not be the case. I m wondering if I have an allergy (food?) or a sinus issue. Thoughts?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

In my opinion, your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.

I recommend using Acetaminophen.

I also recommend using a nasal spray for local application.

If the symptoms continue you should see an ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
