Overview

Respiratory infections are caused by a variety of contagious viruses, bacteria and fungi. These infections can spread easily through the air and can cause discomfort, sickness, and in more serious cases, even death. People who are more vulnerable to these infections include the elderly, infants and people with weakened immune systems. Common symptoms of respiratory infections include coughing, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and fatigue. Treatments for respiratory infections vary and may include antibiotics, antiviral or antifungal medications, as well as lifestyle changes such as increasing water intake, avoiding exposure to smokers and wearing a face mask. It is important to visit a doctor or clinic to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Early detection and treatment of respiratory infections can help reduce the spread of the virus and the potential for serious complications.
