Symptoms of acute respiratory infections usually appear only on the 2nd day after infection, but there are types of infections that "nest" in the body for up to 5 days and only later give rise to awareness. ORZ each has its own way, the course of the disease depends on the person's health and age.

With the advent of spring, the number of patients with sharpened respiratory diseases increases. Why specifically in this period of the year? Everything is very simple: the humidity of the air increases, and the wet air rapidly cools and people with poor health suffer most.

Symptoms of acute respiratory infections usually appear only on the 2nd day after infection, but there are types of infections that "nest" in the body for up to 5 days and only later give rise to awareness. ORZ each has its own way, the course of the disease depends on the person's health and age. People of the older generation, usually, suffer an awful disease. It should be emphasized that four forms of the disease are distinguished: mild, moderate, languorous and most unnecessary form - hypertoxic. Symptoms of acute respiratory infections depend on the form of the disease.

In most cases, the symptomatology begins with the onset of migraine. Unhealthy feels weak for several hours. After some time, there is a pain in the throat, the body temperature increases, from time to time the fever. If the disease develops further, a dry cough occurs (it appears in connection with tracheal injury, which is accompanied by pain in the chest area). A similar period can last up to 3 days, if it is longer, the disease is more severe.

Further there is a "wet" cough, it is accompanied by a plentiful separation of mucus, eyes are tearing, the patient sweats, he has a bad cold, weakness and malaise. In this case, bed rest is mandatory. If there are no complications, similar symptoms of ARI can last for 5 days.

If we talk about general symptoms, then we can distinguish the following:.

- Overestimate body temperature (38 ° C and above);.

- general weakness, pain in the head and malaise;.

- sore throat.

In some severe cases, the symptoms of ARI in adults appear in the following form: the tummy begins to ache, the patient begins diarrhea and nausea, from time to time vomiting. Very often, such symptoms are confusing and sometimes the patient is misdiagnosed, linking it with diseases of the digestive system.
