A member asked:

I seem to catch colds very easily, and they last for a long time. blood tests show hypogammaglobulinemia. should i investigate treatments?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: You need to see an immunologist /allergist and will likely require gammaglobulin replacement on a regular basis if the gammaglobulin level is very low. I suspect that you have rather low energy level as well.
