What Causes Recurrent Throat And Ear Infections?
i have re occurring throat and ear infections. I ache and feel tired with no energy. I have had blood tests which all came back clear. This is now happening every 6-8 weeks. Sometimes I have white in my throat, sometimes the doctor cant detect or see anything. I am 49, had tonsils out when I was 17. In the last 2 years its been happening more than ever. I am seeing a specialist who cant find anything wrong.

My feeling as the blood test came as negative that you are having allergies and that is causing flu like symptoms, Antihistamines will treat it as it occurs ,Another cause could be viral and in that case the blood work will come negative for any bacterial growth. Do visit a dr office once again.
