Upper respiratory infection
An upper respiratory infection, often called a “cold”, occurs when viruses attack the nose, throat and chest. Symptoms typically include runny nose, coughing & sneezing, sore throat and fever. Since a cold and the flu share the same symptoms, it can be hard to figure out which you have. We can help!
