Patient's question:
How to treat acute upper respiratory tract infection in newbornsDoctor's answer:
Acute upper respiratory tract infection refers to the acute inflammation of the nasal cavity, pharynx, or larynx from the external nares to the lower edge of the cricoid cartilage; its symptoms include five major categories such as common cold, viral pharyngitis, herpangina, pharyngitis with conjunctivitis, and bacterial pharyngitis or tonsillitis. When a child with acute upper respiratory tract infection has a fever, the first step is to identify the cause of the fever and provide symptomatic treatment based on the etiology. If the child with acute upper respiratory tract infection experiences recurrent fever or persistent high fever, it is important to actively seek the underlying cause or other complications and choose appropriate treatment.
