Answer 1

Several things can cause this. An infection in the body can do this as well as a fungus being in your body. To help your body clean itself out go to a health food store and get a bottle of wild oregano gel caps. Do 3 to 4 of them 3 times a day for a month. I do this a few times a year. It makes your system inhospitable to most fungi, bacteria and viruses. In doing this you have to eat yogurt with cultures every day to replenish your intestines. I would also see a doctor if the symptoms persist. And have blood work done to look for fungi in your body.
