I agree with others that in and of itself that’s not a red flag. But you are concerned about multiple things and best to get seek a second opinion if for no other reason than peace of mind.

Any chance there is hidden toxic mold in the home? I would find a strong integrative holistic doc who can run appropriate tests like autoimmune, OAT, and inflammatory markers. Consider a gluten-free/dairy-free diet since those foods are inflammatory. Consider anti-inflammatory supplements like fish oil
