The treatment for a respiratory infection will vary based on the type of infection and how severe it is. Some viruses that cause respiratory infections have no known treatment. In these cases, the virus will just need to work its way through the system. Symptoms may be managed through medications prescribed by your doctor or with over-the-counter cold medications. For bacterial infections, your doctor may prescribe you with a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection. Proper diagnosis of a respiratory infection by a doctor through an urgent care like Physicians Now Urgent Care will ensure that you get the right treatment. With options to walk-in or reserve your spot, you can get seen by a doctor quickly to get you on the road to recovery.
