What Causes Recurrent Respiratory Infections And UTI Infections?

Hi! Dr. I am researching treatment for symptoms that I have had all my life. I apparently have trouble fighting off cold and respiratory illnesses or an UTI. I feel run down about 80% of the time, as it feels like my body is constantly fighting off some type of bug or virus. exercise seems to exacerbate the problem. I feel it is due to either some type of immune or allergic problem. Do you know of any tests that could determine what the problem is? I was looking to possibly take Echinacea to treat this and maybe strengthen my immune system. But being unregulated by the FDA it s hard to know which brand or how much Echinacea I would need to use safely.

Hi i do care for your concern.
The recurrent infections may be due to decreased immune response or poor hygiene conditions.
I would advise to
Have check your blood glucose levels and if found high consult your physician and get appropriate medicines for that.
Taking multivitamins such as zincovit and fresh green leafy vegetables and fruits will help to increase the immunity level.
Regarding the medicine its better to consult with your alternate medicine doctor.
Hope your condition improves soon.
Hope i have answered your question if you have more feel free to ask.
