What Causes Recurring Flu?

I have, over the last 2-3 years, been getting sick frequently and with increasing severity. Most recently I have had the flu 3 times in the last year, and bronchitis twice. It seems like every other month I get sick. Every time I see a doctor I ve been told that they can t find any abnormalities. Is there anything that could be causing this, and is there something that I should ask about at the next doctor visit?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query
I understand your concerns. As you are getting recurring attacks of flu from 2-3years, your immunity has come down.

You would have taken lots of antibiotics from past couple of years. This would have further weakened your body's immunity.

So I would suggest you to have good and healthy diet in the former of green leafy vegetables and lots of fruits.
Also take a course of British complex capsules and iron tablets for 3 months.

Hopefully I have answered your query.

Thank you
