Question
What Are the Early Symptoms of Pediatric Respiratory System Diseases?
Answer
The early symptoms of a child’s cold are generally non-specific, with symptoms such as sore throat and nasal congestion common across various respiratory diseases. In severe cases, fever may occur. As the condition progresses to pneumonia, the symptoms become more severe. Allergic conditions tend to last longer. Common early symptoms include runny nose, sore throat, and dry cough. Upper respiratory infections refer to infections of the nose, pharynx, tonsils, and larynx, commonly known as upper respiratory tract infections.
