Hello,
As per your description of frequent infections seems that your immunity is decreased or you are not getting good antifungal and antibiotics coverage.
1) Get done your blood sugar, in diabetic, it is the main cause of recurrent fungal infection.
2) Rule out other immune suppressive diseases. And get treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
