Respiratory Tract Infection Treatment in Kondapurat Helios Lung and Ortho Center

A Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI) is an infection that affects the airways, sinuses, throat, or lungs. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or, less commonly, fungi. RTIs are broadly classified into:

  • Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI): Affect the nose, sinuses, throat, and voice box. Examples include the common cold, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and laryngitis.
  • Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRTI): Affect the windpipe, bronchi, and lungs. Examples include bronchitis and pneumonia.

While many respiratory infections are mild and resolve with treatment, some can become serious if left untreated, especially in children, older adults, and people with weakened immunity.
