A member asked:
I get frequent, chronic episodes of viral/cold/flu-like symptoms, that start when a virus is circulating, but last 2-4 months. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy?: Upper respiratory allergies are the usual explanations for this sort of thing. A cold may start the symptoms, when then continue longer than colds themselves do. Discuss with your doctor, or perhaps ask for referral to an allergist.
