What Causes Severe Ear And Chest Infection Along With Diverticulitis?

For the last six weeks I ve had several infections in a row. I ve had a severe ear infection, diverticulitis and a cold/flu with chest infection. I m always nauseated, low grade fever at times. I saw a doctor about the diverticulitis, was given antibiotics and that is almost better. I feel so tired.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Repeated infections can lead to fatigue especially if they occur close to one another.

The diverticulitis and the antibiotics may be contributing to the nausea but if it continues then you may need further testing to rule out any other causes.
Electrolyte disturbances such as abnormal calcium, liver or kidney disease , can cause nausea.

A complete blood count and thyroid function test may also be needed to evaluate the fatigue if it continues.
The complete blood count would be checking for anemia and the thyroid test would be to rule out low levels of thyroid hormone as a cause of fatigue.

I hope this helps
