Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As he has repeated infections, causes may be re infestion due to repeated expoeure or decreased immunity. I'd suggest you too do chest x ray, complete blood count, blood culture after consultation. He may require antibiotics. Give proper balanced diet. Avoid contact with infected persons.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
