What could cause me to keep constantly getting the flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the flu: You're not constantly getting the flu. Flu come just once a year, and you don't get it twice. What you think of as the flu is probably a cold, and it's normal to get several colds each year...At least two.
