Upper Respiratory Infections in Children - Different syndromes require different approaches to therapy
Abstract
Each infant and child under six years of age may suffer up to five episodes of upper respiratory infections per year, with a peak incidence in children aged less than two years. The majority of these infectious episodes are due to the simple cold, but nearly one-third may result in otitis media or sore throat combined.
