Respiratory Infections

Respiratory infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, are common in children and can affect their overall health and well-being. Bronchitis, an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, often follows a respiratory virus and can cause symptoms like a persistent cough, wheezing, and mucus production. Pneumonia, an infection of the lungs, can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and leads to symptoms such as high fever, rapid breathing, chest pain, and fatigue. Both conditions can vary in severity and may require medical attention to ensure proper management and recovery.

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing respiratory infections in children. Treatments may include medications such as antibiotics for bacterial infections, antiviral drugs for certain viruses, and supportive care like fluids and rest. It’s also essential to monitor for complications and ensure the child receives adequate hydration and nutrition.
