Recurring colds

[Icylaser1992]

I've had 3 colds since September and now I can feel my throats getting sore and the green phlegm is back for a 4th time! I am so sick of this, it really messes me up for weeks and I just can't seem to stop them.

How can I break this cycle?

Hello Icy I would get a blood test from the GP to check your immunoglobulin because we do have a tendency to have low immunity which unfortunately makes us prone to catch viruses and infections.

Take care and Keep warm xx

They did mention something like this... I have a review again in a couple weeks time so I'll ask then. It is ridiculous at this point haha I work with the public.. young people.. so I'm probably more at risk anyway :/

Thanks for the suggestion mate. You too.

yes I understand. I hope you had your flu jab, you're welcome :))

I've just been diagnosed with asthma so not yet haha. Never had the flu, but I can't imagine handling it very well if I did!

Your surgery should have a spare anyway, it's free for asthmatics but it does help a lot. I worked with kids and now with the elderly so I am glad I had it done. I also have to have the anti pneumonia one and I find they protect me better from bugs..perhaps it's all in the mind but if it works who cares^^

If it's in the mind it feels real and that's what matters! I'm always that person who gets colds and people think I'm being dramatic lol

yes i know how you feel if there is a cold in the house it's mine!

Hi Icy When you get through your present problems think about cleaning up your diet, make minor lifestyle changes, since taking strong probiotic capsules I have not had a chest infection, after 40 years of 4/5 bouts a year. Now clear of Asthma.

I do eat healthy already. I must get about 7-10 fruit and veg a day..

I don't think it's that simple
