Keep getting sick in my throat

Laila

Hi ladies,

I’m wondering if anyone could offer me some insight on what the heck might be going on with my body! (Especially my throat!)

I got mono in late December 2021 (it targeted my throat—white pus, red) and it cleared up but since then I’ve been getting sick fairly often.

I got sick with covid in February, then got sick again in March with a viral thing in my throat (same white pus and stuff as mono) and a nasty sinus infection.

Then towards the end of June I got another bad throat virus thing (looked the same as mono again) that lasted for about 10 days, a VERY sore throat for a few days in late July targeting one of my tonsils, then a mild sore throat in early August for a few days, and finally a sore throat right now that’s been getting worse (it doesn’t look like my tonsils are bothered this time though).

Any idea what’s going on? I’ve read that alcohol can cause problems with your immune system or something but I’ve barely drank this summer and this is 4 sicknesses in barely 2 months (and a total of 6 illnesses in about 9 months). I’ve also heard that stress can cause sickness but I’ve been WAY more stressed in my life than I am now with very little sleep and I wasn’t getting sick this often. I’ve been traveling a lot recently so maybe this is part of it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!
