When to see a doctor

See a doctor if you notice:

  • Several serious infections such as pneumonia per year
  • Infections that only clear with intravenous antibiotics
  • Fever for more than three days or breathlessness
  • Unintended weight loss or night sweats

In an emergency: 144

What you can do yourself

  • Sleep and exercise

    Enough sleep and regular exercise support your defences.

  • Wash your hands

    Regular hand washing lowers the risk of infection.

  • Vaccines and vitamin D

    Check your vaccinations. If you are vitamin D deficient, supplements may reduce respiratory infections.

Which therapies are used for frequent infections?

Sorted by the state of research on preventing colds. The rating shows how well the effect is supported, not whether it will help you.

What do the dots mean?
Established
recommended in guidelines, well studied
Partly supported
effect shown in studies, with limitations
Limited evidence
few or weak studies
Hardly studied
used, but hardly or not studied

The rating covers the research, not the therapist.

Therapists may offer several methods, so they can be counted more than once.
