A member asked:
I am 21 year old male and get 8-10 infections a year like common cold,gastroenteritis. it always goes without treatment. should i be concerned though?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Doesn't sound concerning, if they are common viral infections that resolve on their own. The average person gets an illness every 6 to 8 weeks ... at least the younger ones do.
