Respiratory Infections
Respiratory infections affect the airways, lungs, and breathing passages and can range from mild illnesses to severe lung infections. These infections may be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi and can impact both adults and children.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications and ensure complete recovery, especially in elderly individuals and patients with chronic lung diseases.
