Respiratory infections are illnesses affecting breathing, such as colds, bronchitis, or pneumonia. Symptoms include cough, fever, and congestion. Trusted telehealth providers on Klarity offer diagnosis and treatment, often via same-day video visits.
Respiratory infections encompass a range of illnesses like the common cold, bronchitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia. They affect the respiratory system, causing symptoms such as cough, sore throat, fever, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath. These infections are caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi, and their severity varies from mild to serious.
Common symptoms include cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, fatigue, and chest discomfort. Causes often involve viral pathogens like influenza or rhinoviruses, but bacterial infections can also be responsible. Exposure to contaminated surfaces or close contact with infected individuals increases risk.
Diagnosis typically involves a clinical assessment, review of symptoms, and possibly diagnostic tests like chest X-rays or swabs. Treatment depends on the cause: viral infections often resolve on their own, while bacterial infections may require antibiotics. Telehealth providers can evaluate symptoms remotely and prescribe medications if needed.
