Learn about the upper respiratory illnesses and the associated symptoms we treat.
Upper Respiratory Infections
Upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) are irritation and swelling that affect the upper part of the respiratory system, including sinuses and throat. There are several types of URIs, and effective treatment depends on source of infection.
COVID-19
COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Mild cases may feel like the common cold or flu but in some instances, symptoms may be more severe.
Flu (Influenza)
Do you have aches and chills? It might be the flu, a viral infection that causes symptoms similar to a cold but with more severity. To prevent serious complications, such as pneumonia, it is important to seek care as soon as possible.
Sinus Infections
A sinus infection, or sinusitis, is the inflammation or swelling of the sinuses. The sinuses are air-filled spaces in your nose, cheeks and forehead that make mucus to keep the inside of your nose moist. When they become blocked and filled with fluid, it creates an environment where germs can flourish.
