The most prevalent cause of mild morbidity is an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), which can affect both adults and children. The rhinovirus, coronavirus, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, and influenza are among the families of viruses that typically cause upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), also known as "the common cold," and its symptoms. In the summer, the enterovirus is occasionally mentioned. Recent research has also linked URTI to the recently identified bocavirus, which is related to the parvovirus. The appropriate use of antibiotics, recent information cautioning against over-the-counter treatments for URTI in children under two years of age, growing data on complementary and alternative medicines (CAM), and other affordable evidence-based interventions are some management challenges. Join us live with one of our best paediatric expert to understand current approach to URTIs. 

Current Approaches to URTIs in Children

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children appear to be simple and straightforward matters, but there are mutiple and frequently updated guidelines  on UTIs in this patient group, and it remains one of the most - if not the most - controversial fields in paediatric medicine. Substantial over- and under-diagnosing can result from practical difficulties in at least three areas, including problems with collecting urine samples, in interpreting bacterial counts correctly, and in confusing infantile asymptomatic bacteriuria and a true symptomatic febrile UTI. To address these dilemmas in diagnosis, we have Dr. Tushar Maniar, Head of Dept of Peadiatrics, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, going over some interesting cases that will seamlessly trace the journey from differential diagnoses of UTIs in children to arriving at the final diagnosis.
