Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections

Recurrent respiratory tract infections describe repeated episodes of colds, pharyngitis, ear infections, or other infections of the respiratory system that occur more frequently than expected, especially in childhood.

How they show up: frequent episodes of cough, congestion, sore throat, or fever that occur throughout the year.

When should you seek guidance? When the infections are very frequent, take a long time to resolve, or affect the child's day-to-day life, it is advisable to investigate what is behind them.

Which specialist evaluates it? A pediatrician performs the first evaluation, and an allergist or an immunologist can study possible factors that favor the relapses. If the respiratory infections keep recurring, a professional evaluation helps find out why.
