What Is the Best Medicine for Upper Respiratory Infection?
The best medicine for an upper respiratory infection (URI) typically depends on the specific symptoms being treated. URIs are often viral, and treatments are aimed at relieving symptoms rather than curing the infection. Common treatments include decongestants, antihistamines, cough suppressants, and expectorants to alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion, coughing, and runny nose. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed if a bacterial infection is suspected. Additionally, hydration, rest, and pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage symptoms. Always consult a healthcare provider for the most appropriate treatment.
