Always sick??

I am a 22 year old male... just fyi

Since March-April I have been battling constant flu's and infections. Before this began, I was never sick. I never had the flu, infections, what ever, I was never sick.

Then in mid-March I began to get sick. It was a pretty bad flu, or at least I hope it was. Sore throat, post nasal drip, coughing, and just felt bad.

After a week and a half of battling the flu, I had a "pretty bad" ear infection that was painful for almost two weeks. I was on antibiotics for a week and a half.

It seemed like I was finally over the ear infection when I began to get severe pain in my cheeks with a headache. No matter how much headache medication I took, I could not get rid of the headache. I soon found out after a CT-Scan that I had a sinus infection. My doctor put me back on antibiotics, and sure enough the pain went away.

The sinus infection lasted a good two weeks, but I finally got over it. It was only a matter of time before my sore throat came back. It was pretty sore, and I was taking like 10 cough drops a day to relieve the pain. After extensive blood work, I was told I had the Epstein-Barr virus, which means it was mono.

Has anyone ever heard of someone getting this many infections in a row? I am wondering if it may be some immune disease.
 
Sound like mono..be patient your immune system has weakened.you need to eat healthy,drink alottt of liquids to flush it out and give it about eight weeks total to work it's way out.if you can get t peastt 20 minutes of sun a day that ell help! Feel better
 
Sorry you feel so bad, unfortunately mono really knocks the immune system around and can take quite some time to recover. Please take good care of yourself, get plenty of rest and eat nutritous food. You will have to be patient.
 
How is your diet, generally? As we get older, most need to be more careful about what they eat. Besides more veggies and fruits, eating yogurt regularly can be helpful especially when one has been taking antibiotics.
