Patient's question:
Does influenza have acute upper respiratory tract infection? When I was at work, the weather was very dry, and I drank very little water. Many employees in the factory got colds. I want to know if any cold has respiratory infection. It confuses me very much.Doctor's answer:
Influenza does not possess acute upper respiratory tract infection, because influenza is primarily caused by influenza viruses, it has a viral cold, and in this case, oral antiviral drugs are needed for treatment. Acute upper respiratory tract infection, on the other hand, is sometimes caused by inflammation, and sometimes by common viruses, rather than by influenza viruses.
