When my children were young, they frequently developed coughs, sore throats and ran fevers. It was such a frequent happening, that my friend kept saying'they must have allergies'. I thought that was absurd since they always ran fevers with their very, very frequent illnesses. Finally, when my daughter, Debbie, was chronically ill, I became so desperate that I went to an Allergist. Lo and behold, it was discovered that Debbie had developed an allergy to her own body bacteria which resulted in constant reinfections. After getting a battery of twice weekly shots, Debbie got over her allergy. She became healthier than all my other children and has remained that way.
So, the moral of the story is:- never rule out ANY possibilities when trying to discover the root cause of a particular health problem.
