Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I find it relevant to dig a little deeper and see if you suffer from autoimmune disease or chronic inflammatory disease. A referral to a rheumatologist or a specialist in infectious medicine seems appropriate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
