Do i need to see a certain doctor about why i am getting sick all the time?
Brief Answer:
more information is needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
please explain 'forever'... how many infections did you have last year? What about the year before? Do you work or come into contact with children (like in a kindergarten) ? Pneumonia is a common disease but we don't expect young women to have pneumonia every so often. We do expect most people to catch a cold 2-3 times a year though. If you're coming into contact with children then many more times can be justified.
Do you have chronic conditions like chronic sinusitis, asthma or anything else?
Do you take any drugs?
