An acute upper respiratory infection is a condition in which a viral or bacterial infection causes inflammation in the upper airway, including the nose, tonsils, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box). It includes what is commonly called the "common cold." The main symptoms are runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, and fever. Adequate fluids and rest are the basic treatment, but if you have a high fever or severe symptoms, please consult an ENT specialist.2026-06-26

Urinary tract infection is known to be more common in women, but it also occurs frequently in men, and it is increasing, especially in older men along with diabetes and benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). If it is not treated appropriately at an early stage, it can become chronic or lead to sepsis, so prompt diagnosis and treatment are important.2026-06-26
