URI
Upper Respiratory Infection or Common Cold
URI, in medical terminology, stands for Upper Respiratory Infection. These infections are among the most common reasons for doctor visits and represent the most frequently diagnosed illnesses that result in people taking sick days from work and school.
Most upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viruses, and can happen at any time during year, but are most common in the fall and winter season.
Symptoms of URI
Symptoms include cough, sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, scratchy or sore throat, and nasal breathing.
These infections primarily affect the upper respiratory tract, which includes the nose, sinuses, and throat. Given the contagious nature of these illnesses, rapid and effective treatment is crucial to prevent further spread within households and communities.
