pneumonia 3 times 7 months

pneumonia 3 times 7 months

I have asthma and i have had pneumonia 3 times in the last 7 months.  My doctor and I agreed it was time to run tests. So far I have found I have mycoplasma pneumonia.  And possible problems with my immune system which he is talking about gammoglobulin shots. Can you give me some insite?

Generally, Gamma Globulin is used to boost the immune system but only for a temporary effect. Gamma Globulin is injected to patients who don't produce enough antibodies (also known as  immunoglobulins) of their own.

I'm not a doctor, but my aunt was familiar with this solution, told me the basics. :)

If your physician recommends gammaglobulin, take his/her advice. It is an expensive medication not prescribed without good reason, and in many cases means the difference between life or death.
