Upper Respiratory Infection

Upper respiratory infections (URIs) affect the upper respiratory tract and cause symptoms like chest congestion, sneezing, runny nose, coughing (dry or wet), fever, sore throat, and headaches. While these infections are common, they are usually easy to manage and treat with rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medications.
