Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are getting frequent infections and the symptoms are suggesting that you may be having allergy.
As you have taken different medicines prescribed by your doctor for the symptoms and the symptoms are recurring.
I would suggest you to undergo absolute eosinophill count (AEC) to know whether there is any allergic manifestation.
Then we can proceed with the proper treatment with immunotherapy.
Thank you.
