Upper respiratory tract infections are the generic term for acute inflammation of the nose, throat or throat, and are the most common infectious diseases, commonly known as 'colds'. Most are caused by viruses, common pathogens include the nasal virus, coronavirus, influenza viruses, respiratory cytokines, adenovirus, etc. , and a few are caused by bacteria.
Upper respiratory tract infections occur throughout the year and are more common in the winter and spring, and are commonly transmitted through wheezing and contact, and are more susceptible to recurrence in the population, children, the elderly, and immunocompromised people. The transmission of upper respiratory tract infections is mainly through the spread and contact of fleas. The patient coughs, sneezes, discharges the virus-containing fleas, inhaled infections; and can be infected by touching the infected hands, nose and mouth with objects.
Chills, fatigue, sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, air dryness, etc. Weaken the respiratory membrane defense and increase the chances of infection. The body produces corresponding antibodies after infection, but the virus varies widely and varies rapidly, so it can be repeated.

Some patients are accompanied by low fever, headache, whole-body acute pain, weakness. For people with recurrent infections, severe symptoms or underlying illnesses, regular blood tests can be performed on C-reaction proteins, etc.

Treatment of upper respiratory tract infections is mainly symptom-supported. Full rest, plenty of water, a clean diet, room ventilation.
Cough suppressants are available. It should be emphasized that the common cold is mostly a viral infection, antibiotics are ineffective against the virus, should not be used regularly, and should only be used under the direction of a doctor when the bacterial infection is clearly combined with fever, yellow fever, elevated blood pressure.
