Hello doctor, I am a 20 year old female. I am not on any medication. I take probiotic, multivitamin, vitamin D, Cal-mag and omega supplements daily. I seem to have recurrent infections. In the last three years, I have had two strands of mononucleosis, pneumonia twice, ongoing sinus infections, recurring strep throat, and tonsillitis which resulted in getting the tonsils removed. I also had a stomach infection. I cannot take antibiotics anymore because the infections come back when I stop the medications. I was referred to an allergist and have tested negative to all the allergies. I do not know where to go from here. Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, as well as colon, prostate, and breast cancer has been in my family. Is there a chance I could have any of those? Doctors have said that it could be just a phase of being sick. But, I am tired and worn out. I want to get my life back. Any guidance would help.
Hello. Firstly, do not worry, your condition is not suggestive of those cancers. Hope this helps. Get back if you have any doubts. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
