How to recognize a respiratory infection of the bronchi

A cold often starts with a sore throat.Children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable.And if the cold viruses also get into the bronchi during a respiratory infection, the cold symptoms generally worsen.There is a dry, irritating cough and often a heavy build-up of mucus.Fever, tiredness or headaches can also occur.The basic rule is: If a cold lasts longer than seven days, the symptoms worsen significantly or a fever lasts for several days, a doctor should make a precise diagnosis.The same applies if shortness of breath or bloody sputum occurs.

Viruses are the main cause of respiratory infections

Only a small proportion of 5-10% of respiratory infections are caused by bacteria.The rest, more than 90-95%, is caused by a viral infection.Antibiotics only work against bacteria, so treatment with them only makes sense in a few cases.
