A cough is the most common symptom of an upper respiratory tract infection. Other symptoms include: • headaches. • stuffed or runny nose. • sore throat. • sneezing.

12 Dec 2003 These guidelines concerning the best use of antibiotics for the treatment of upper and lower respiratory tract infections, common cold, pharyngitis, acute sinusitis, acute otitis media, community-acquired pneumonia, acute bronchitis and bronchiolitis rely on evidence-based medicine.

Dysfunction of any part of upper respiratory tract may change quality of inhaled air and consequently, may impair function of tracheobronchial tree and lung. Upper respiratory tract infections are the most common infections in the population. They are the
The respiratory system also filters, warms, and humidifies the air that is breathed in. The upper-respiratory tract consists of the nose, the sinuses, the pharynx and larynx. The lower respiratory tract comprises the trachea, the bronchi, and the lungs. Infections of the respiratory tract represent some of the most common acute
Acute upper respiratory infections (URI) include the common cold, pharyngitis, epiglottitis, and laryngotracheitis (Fig. 93-1). These infections facilitates transmission.Figure 93-1Upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Etiology: Causative agents of lower respiratory infections are viral or bacterial.
