Multiple illnesses after recovering from Epstein Barr Virus

[Kelf]

Hello everyone. I'm 25 years old and last August I was diagnosed with a severe case of Epstein Barr. I was hospitalized for a period of time and have since then recovered for the most part. The only problem is that I keep coming down with either strep throat, pharyngitis, laryngitis or the h flu every other month. I just recently came down with strep throat again and I'm wondering if there is anything that I can to to prevent getting sick. It as if I get it as soon as someone with as much as a cold walks by! Help! I'm tired of being sick and I know that being on antibiotics this much is not good!

Good luck ! Be sure to get plenty of rest, keep your stress levels down and drink plenty of fluids. You may also want to consider speaking to your physician about doing a sugar free diet. (since sugar lowers your immune system).

Thank you. I will look into that.

This happened to me after I had a severe case of mono. I had my tonsils removed but despite that, I continued to have all sorts of infections and years later... was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Please consider either a Naturopathic physician or a physician who specializes in CFS. You may not have CFS, but you have a successive infection and need help getting over this infection. For a list of physicians who frequently diagnose and treat CFS in your area.... google, "Co Cure's Good Doctor List".

Keep me posted, okay ?
