Recurrent infections of the sinuses, lungs, or ears happen when these areas become inflamed or infected repeatedly throughout the year. While everyone gets sick occasionally, some individuals experience infections far more often than expected. These recurring illnesses may be due to allergies, structural issues in the airways, exposure to irritants, or an underlying immune system problem.
Even mild infections can become exhausting when they keep returning, affecting work, school, sleep, and overall quality of life. Understanding why these infections happen is the key to preventing them not simply treating them when they appear.
You should seek help if you experience three or more sinus infections a year, repeated ear infections, pneumonia more than once, or a chronic cough that lasts longer than eight weeks. Persistent fatigue, difficulty breathing, or infections that require multiple antibiotic courses are also signs that evaluation is needed. A specialist can identify whether allergies, immune problems, or anatomical causes are contributing.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation that may include allergy testing, immune function testing, sinus assessment, and lung function studies. Once we determine the cause, we create a targeted treatment plan that may include allergy management, inhalers, nasal therapies, immune support, or preventive medications. By treating the root cause, not just the infection, we aim to break the cycle of recurring illness and help you breathe easier with fewer sick days and more consistent energy.
