Acute Respiratory Infection Symptoms And How To Cure Them
Introduction
Acute respiratory infections are common and can be caused by bacteria or viruses. Symptoms include a sore throat, runny nose, dry cough and chest pains. Acute respiratory infection can be serious if you don’t seek medical care for your illness. Serious complications may develop if you don’t get treatment right away.

The symptoms of a respiratory infection include a sore throat, runny nose, dry cough and chest pains. You may also have a fever or chills.
The most common cause of acute upper respiratory infections is viral infections such as the flu virus or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Some other causes include:
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) – This type of bacterial infection is commonly found in young children and causes more severe symptoms than those caused by viruses like RSV pneumoniae. It’s spread through coughing on someone else’s hands if they touch their mouth during an attack; this can be prevented by washing your hands frequently with soap and water after using public restrooms or changing tables at school.* Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) – This bacteria can cause serious illness including meningitis if left untreated; it’s transmitted from person to person through direct contact from sneezes or coughs.* Morbidly obese individuals are at increased risk for developing pneumonia due to increased intraabdominal pressure that may result in abdominal pain when lying down flat on their backs whereas normal weight people tend not experience any discomfort while sleeping upright because there isn’t any pressure coming up against them due to gravity acting upon them while sleeping normally
Acute respiratory infection can be caused by bacteria or viruses.
Bacteria and viruses are the two most common causes of acute respiratory infections. If you have a weakened immune system, you’re more likely to get an infection from bacteria than from the virus. Viruses are only a concern if your immune system is already weak, however.
In addition to bacteria and viruses, other causes include:
- Dust mites/mite allergies (mite allergy symptoms include sneezing)
- Mold spores (mold allergy symptoms include sneezing)
Symptoms usually appear within a few days after you’ve been exposed to the disease.
Symptoms usually appear within a few days after you’ve been exposed to the disease. Symptoms can be mild or severe and may last for a few days. They may also be similar to other illnesses, such as colds or flu (which is why it’s important to see your doctor if you’re having symptoms).
Symptoms of acute respiratory infection include:
- cough that produces mucus;
- fever;
- feeling weak;
- trouble breathing;
- sneezing (coughing up yellow-green mucus)
You may not experience any obvious symptoms of acute respiratory infection at first because it is not particularly serious.

Serious complications can develop in some people if they don’t seek medical care for their illness. These include pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. If you don’t seek medical treatment, you may not get the correct treatment or it could be delayed to a point where the infection is more severe than if you had sought help sooner.
If you’re sick with an acute respiratory infection, you should rest and drink plenty of fluids.
If you’re sick with an acute respiratory infection, it’s important to rest and drink plenty of fluids. This can help prevent dehydration, which can lead to complications like kidney disease or heart failure. It’s OK to drink alcohol while under the weather—if you have the flu or pneumonia, however, you should avoid alcohol completely because it will make symptoms worse by increasing your body temperature and making them harder for your body to fight off infections.
If you do choose to consume alcohol while recovering from a respiratory illness (as well as any other kind), make sure that moderation is key: don’t overdo it!
Acute respiratory infections often go away on their own within one to three weeks.

- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath on exertion (such as walking up stairs)
