In everyday life, upper respiratory infections are a common disease, and when autumn and winter seasons change and temperatures change more frequently, it is difficult to avoid adult children. Knowledge of upper respiratory infections is essential to prevent and respond to them.
Upper respiratory infections are commonly referred to as acute inflammation of the nasal, throat or throat and are among the most common infectious diseases. The main causes of morbidity are viral infections, such as nasal viruses, coronary viruses, influenza viruses, and so on, with a small number caused by bacteria. In general, when the body’s resistance is reduced as a result of rain, coolness, excessive fatigue, etc., viruses or bacteria can easily take advantage of this and cause disease.
Following upper respiratory infections, common symptoms are nose plugs, slugs, ingesting, coughing, fever, etc. These symptoms often cause discomfort and affect normal life, learning and work. For example, nostrils can lead to respiratory insinuation, especially during night sleep, which can lead to a deterioration in the quality of sleep; sorption can cause the patient to feel pain when swallowing, or even affect food consumption; and if heat continues, it can cause a series of whole-body symptoms such as physical inactivity and dizziness.
The treatment of upper respiratory infections is mainly based on treatment of symptoms. Antithermal analgesics such as brophine, acetylaminophenol, etc. can be used if hemorrhaging, headaches, muscular acid symptoms are evident; nasal slugs, aldicarb, etc., can be used to relieve nasal muscular intoxication, and coughing, e.g., aminobromosophine, right methadone, etc., can be used if the symptoms are acute. It should be noted, however, that medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor and that self-abuse should be avoided. Antibiotics, in particular, have no therapeutic effect on the upper respiratory infections caused by the virus and are used only when there is a clear combination of bacterial infections.
In addition to drug treatment, routine care and maintenance should not be overlooked. Patients should be careful to rest, to ensure adequate sleep and adequate physical recovery. Drinking more water helps to dilute the aqueous fluid, promotes the discharge of the aqueous fluid and supplements the loss of moisture due to symptoms such as heat. In terms of diet, it would be easier to digest, to eat more vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits and to avoid the consumption of spicy, greasy and irritating foods in order not to aggravate respiratory symptoms. At the same time, the maintenance of indoor air flows, with appropriate use of humidifiers and increased air moisture, will help to mitigate respiratory discomfort. Prevention of upper respiratory infections is key. First, it is necessary to strengthen physical activity, improve physical health and improve body immunity and resistance through regular sports, such as running, swimming and yoga. Secondly, attention should be paid to personal hygiene, hand-washing, avoiding the use of hands to touch noses and mouths and reducing the chances of transmission of the virus. During the high-prevalence flu season, access to densely populated, air-traffic sites is minimized and, if necessary, masked for protection purposes. In addition, in order to avoid cooling, clothing is added and reduced in a timely manner in response to weather changes. Preventive measures, such as influenza vaccination, could also be considered for children, older persons and populations with low immunity levels in order to reduce the risk of infection.
Upper respiratory infections, though common, must not be underestimated. By understanding its causes, symptoms, treatment and preventive measures, we can better cope with the disease in our daily lives, reduce its threat to our health and maintain a good life.
