Viral Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
A viral upper respiratory tract infection is a very common condition caused by viruses that affect the nose, the throat, and the paranasal sinuses. It is what we usually call a cold, and it tends to resolve on its own within a few days.
Common symptoms:
- Congestion or runny nose
- Sore throat and sneezing
- Cough, general malaise, and sometimes a low-grade fever
When should you see a doctor? If the symptoms last a long time, worsen, or high fever or difficulty breathing appears, an evaluation is advisable, especially in young children or people with other illnesses.
Who treats it? A general practitioner and a pediatrician usually guide the care; a pulmonologist or an infectious disease specialist steps in for cases that warrant it. In the case of symptoms that do not go away as expected, having them reviewed by a professional provides greater peace of mind.
