What Causes Repeated Chest And Throat Infections?
hello, since October I have had constant colds, chest infections, tonsilitus, and 5 stomach bugs. I just get over one of these and within 2-3 days I have caught another. Can you help with why I keep catching so many bugs and how to prevent catching them?

Welcome to HCM. Having constant infections can sometimes be exhausting. This can be secondary to several conditions. If there is no prior history of infections, then these could be related to environmental causes or due to recent compromise in the immune system.
I would recommend that you see your physician for proper investigations.
