Acute upper respiratory infections in children

Acute upper respiratory infections (acute upper res piratory infections) are the most common diseases in children, mainly invading the nose, nasopharynx, and pharynx. Therefore, the diagnosis of "acute nasopharyngitis" (cold), "acute pharyngitis", and "acute tonsillitis" is commonly used. The term can also be collectively referred to as upper respiratory infection, referred to as "upper sensation". Nasopharyngeal infections can often have complications involving neighboring organs such as the throat, trachea, lungs, mouth, sinuses, middle ears, eyes, and cervical lymph nodes. Sometimes the symptoms of the primary nasopharyngeal disease have improved or disappeared, and its complications can be delayed or exacerbated. Therefore, it is necessary to make a comprehensive observation and analysis of the clinical characteristics of upper respiratory infections and their complications in order to facilitate early diagnosis and early treatment. In order to improve the curative effect, we must not regard it as a daily minor illness and treat it lightly.
