Cold weather continues to do justice to the winter season. In this season, body resistance decreases due to the cold weather and upper respiratory tract diseases are more frequently affected. Of course, one of the most common reasons for this situation is that more time is spent in closed areas in winter and many people have to be in closed areas at the same time. In closed environments, viruses and bacteria that cause upper respiratory tract infections easily reach one person to another and this is how the disease spreads. Upper respiratory tract infections attract attention with the symptoms they show in the ear, nose and throat area. Runny nose, nasal congestion, pain and aching sensation in the throat, cough, pain felt in the ears, difficulty breathing and a feeling of fullness, weakness and fever are among the common symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. Upper respiratory tract infections reduce the quality of daily life; cause difficulty in breathing, difficulty in eating and drinking, and frequent interruptions during sleep due to symptoms. Upper respiratory tract infections are diseases that cause serious problems if left untreated and require urgent intervention.
