Upper Respiratory Infection
Upper Respiratory Infection
Upper respiratory infections (URI) cover a variety of possible conditions, typically affect the throat, nose, and sinuses. They are either caused by bacteria, a virus, or in rare cases, fungus. The common cold is one of the most prevalent upper respiratory infections, but other examples include tonsilitis, sinusitis, laryngitis and otitis media.
Symptoms vary depending on the nature and cause of the infection, but common signs of a URI include nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal congestion, a cough, a sore throat, headaches, and in some cases fatigue.
Treatment of a URI will depend on what caused the infection, but generally, it includes getting plenty of rest, drinking water to stay hydrated, and medication. Drug classes often used to treat URIs are penicillinase-sensitive penicillin antibiotics, 1st generation cephalosporin antibiotics, 2nd generation cephalosporin and cephamycin antibiotics, 3rd generation cephalosporin antibiotics, tetracycline antibiotics, and macrolide antibiotics.
