Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Can be due some kind of allergy. As it is since infancy, it cannot be due to acute viral infection. Apart from allergy, immunity disorders should also be ruled out with blood tests. Complete blood picture would give some hint to diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query.
