Description

Dr. Pradyut Waghray and Dr. Allen Steele-Dadzie cover cold, cough and flu, the differentiating symptoms in each, and how doctors can differentiate between upper and lower respiratory tract infections. He also provides details on symptomatic treatment with over the counter medicines instead of antibiotics, which prove to be unhelpful for fighting upper respiratory tract infections often caused by viruses.

Both experts also discuss the irrational or continued, long-term use of antibiotics and its contribution to increased resistance in patients.
