What is Respiratory Tract Infection?<\/h2>\n

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a very common type of condition that affects any area of your body involved in breathing.<\/p>\n

They are generally divided into Lower respiratory tract infections (affecting lungs and airways) and Upper Respiratory tract infections (affecting the nose, sinuses, and throat).<\/p>\n

Ahmeys<\/span> prescribers will assess your symptoms and once you have been diagnosed they will recommend the most effective treatment.<\/p>\n

Lower Respiratory Tract Infection<\/h2>\n

Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lower RTIs affect your airways and lungs. Examples include bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and bronchiolitis.<\/p>\n

Common symptoms include:
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Tight feeling in the chest<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Breathlessness<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Breathing faster than normal<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wheezing<\/h3>\n

Upper Respiratory Tract Infection<\/h2>\n

Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This type of RTI affects your sinuses, throat, and nose. The common cold, tonsillitis, and sinusitis are all examples of Upper RTIs.<\/p>\n

Symptoms Include
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Headaches<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Runny or blocked nose<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sneezing<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sore Throat<\/h3>\n

Treatment<\/h2>\n

RTIs can be caused by bacteria or viruses. Before an Ahmeys prescriber can recommend treatment they need to diagnose what sort of RTI you have.<\/p>\n

They will discuss your symptoms with you during your consultation and undertake a medical history and use the information provided to make their diagnosis and suggest effective treatment or medication.<\/p>\n

Causes<\/h2>\n

Respiratory tract infections can be passed on through contagious viruses and bacteria. The virus can be caught through direct contact ( such as someone’s breath) or indirect contact (such as touching a surface that someone with a virus has touched).
\nAs the symptoms of viruses often take a few days to appear, it is easy to become infected without realizing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
