The season of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza is just around the corner! Let's figure out how to treat this disease?

Acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) are a group of respiratory diseases caused by a viral infection. The typology of viruses includes a huge number of their types.

The disease caused by viruses affects the respiratory system: nose, throat, trachea, lungs.

ARVI proceeds, as a rule, in the form of the following ailments:

• acute rhinitis;
• acute pharyngitis;
• acute laryngotracheitis;
• acute tonsillitis;
• acute bronchitis.

Why is the word "acute" everywhere? Let's clarify: the term "acute" indicates that the disease lasts a certain period of time and is not chronic.

What are the symptoms of ARVI?

• general malaise;
• increased body temperature;
• runny nose and nasal congestion;

If, while observing a set of measures, it was still not possible to avoid infection with respiratory diseases, it is necessary to start a timely impact on the virus.

How to treat?

First of all, remember: viruses are not treated with antibiotics. They are treated with antiviral drugs. The physician should establish the etiology of the disease, as well as prescribe treatment.
