Why Do I Always Have a Cold? Consider This!


I always have a cold, and it seems to plague quite a few people. The cold gets blamed for a host of maladies that are cold like but are not necessarily a cold. A cold is a virus, the rhinovirus to be specific. It is highly unlikely that you have a year round cold. It is more likely that you have something undiagnosed going on. Very often it can be a sign of un-diagnosed allergies, especially if the condition continues on year round. However many modern tests still can't accurately detect allergies and sensitivities so you may have to dig deeper to find the cause.

Here are 2 more potential causes you may not have considered.

What is Eating You?

By now if you are thinking I always have a cold you have probably had some allergy testing done. The problem is you are probably having the wrong allergy testing done. You may be suffering from a food allergy that is behaving like a cold. When you present yourself to the doctor with complaints of prolonged cold symptoms the doctor is going to be looking for respiratory allergies, but it may not be what you are breathing in but instead it may be what you are eating.

Your immune system may be compromised and you may wind up feeling like you always have a cold because you have something that is causing your immune system to break down. In some cases you may have started with a bacterial or viral infection and you wound up with a secondary infection that secondary infection that has gone untreated may have bloomed into something else.

Don't just assume that you always have a cold. It may be something that is much more treatable than the common cold. If you feel like you always have a cold than you need to investigate all possibilities, all the causes that you're not even aware of!
