Respiratory infections like cold, flu, and pneumonia affect breathing. Symptoms include cough, fever, and sore throat. Treatment involves medications, rest, and virtual healthcare consultations for quick recovery.
Respiratory infections are illnesses that affect the respiratory system, including conditions like the common cold, influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia. They can cause significant discomfort and require proper diagnosis and treatment from healthcare providers.
These infections are primarily caused by viruses and bacteria. Factors such as smoking, allergies, weakened immune systems, and exposure to infected individuals increase the risk of developing respiratory illnesses.
Patients often experience cough, sore throat, fever, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Severe cases may involve chest pain or persistent headaches, indicating the need for medical evaluation.
Diagnosis involves physical exams, patient history, and tests like chest X-rays, nasal swabs, or blood work to identify the specific infection and determine appropriate treatment.
Treatment depends on the infection type. Viral infections typically resolve with rest and hydration, while bacterial cases may require antibiotics. Virtual healthcare providers can prescribe medications and guide recovery.
If symptoms worsen, last more than 10 days, or include severe difficulty breathing, chest pain, or high fever, prompt medical attention is necessary. Telehealth services offer quick access to care from licensed providers.
Patients can access compassionate, licensed healthcare providers via online consultations for diagnosis, treatment, and medication management. Klarity connects you with top-rated professionals for convenient, quick care.
