Symptoms
In less-serious LRTIs, the symptoms are relatively mild and can be similar to the common cold. These include:
Congestion or runny nose
Dry cough
Sore throat
Low-grade fever
Mild headache
Mild LRTIs can sometimes become more severe, leading to pneumonia, bronchitis, or other more serious infections. At times one may have a viral infection that is then complicated by a bacterial infection. Symptoms of a more serious LRTI include:
Fever
Severe cough
Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing
Wheezing
Skin turning a blue color due to lack of oxygen
Chest pain or tightness
Explanation:
cause ;
: A lower respiratory tract infection (RTI) occurs when there is an infection of the lungs, specifically in the lower airways. This infection is usually caused by a virus, but it can also be caused by bacteria or other less common organisms.
treatment :
Medical history and physical exam. The doctor will review your child's medical history and conduct a complete physical exam to check for the various signs, symptoms and physical findings of a lower RTI.
Nose swab. The doctor may swab your child’s nose to check for the flu or other viruses. Remember that if your child has a viral infection, antibiotics will not be helpful.
X-ray. If your child’s doctor suspects pneumonia, he or she might order an X-ray of the chest to check for this condition.
Blood test. The doctor may use a blood test to check for signs of inflammation or signs that your child's body is fighting an infection.
Bronchoscopy. If your child has a chronic health condition or has had repeated cases of pneumonia, the doctor may plan for a procedure called flexible bronchoscopy. Your child will be sedated and a thin, flexible scope (tube) will be passed through the nose into the lower airway to evaluate the major lung branches and obtain a mucus sample. This sample will help identify the cause of the pneumonia or respiratory tract infection.
