My daughter is 24, and slightly underweight, as a doting mother I am obviously worrying about her somewhat. In the past five or six months, she seems to have been constantly sick for one reason or another, infections in her lungs, sinuses, ears and throat. If it is not one thing, it is another. Her doctor does not seem to be overly concerned, treating each bout with antibiotics, yet I am.
Do I have the right to be worried, and if so,
What should I do?
Thank you

I'd ask for a second opinion to see if there is an underlying reason. Is she diabetic as this can increase her susceptibility to infections?

I think I would seek a second opinion - and also see a specialist (Ear, Nose & Throat).
She might be getting innapropriate antibiotics. Or, there could be an underlying problem.
good luck.
