1. Signs and symptoms of Acute viral bronchiolitis include coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, and fever. Infants with bronchiolitis may also show signs of irritability, poor feeding, and nasal congestion.
2. Signs and symptoms of Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) include cough, congestion, sore throat, sneezing, and mild fever. URTIs are usually mild and self-limiting and can be caused by viruses such as the common cold virus.
3. Signs and symptoms of Pneumonia include cough, fever, chills, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and can range from mild to severe.
4. Signs and symptoms of Asthma include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing.
5. Signs and symptoms of Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) include sneezing, runny nose, itching of eyes, nose, or throat, and congestion. Allergic rhinitis is caused by an allergic reaction to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.
6. Signs and symptoms of Foreign body aspiration include coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest pain, and choking. Foreign body aspiration occurs when an object becomes lodged in the airway, leading to respiratory distress.
7. Signs and symptoms of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) include heartburn, regurgitation of food or sour liquid, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. GERD is a digestive disorder that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus.
8. Signs and symptoms of Pertussis (whooping cough) include severe coughing fits followed by a high-pitched "whoop" sound, vomiting after coughing, and fatigue. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial infection of the respiratory tract.
9. Signs and symptoms of Croup include a barking cough, hoarseness, difficulty breathing, and a high-pitched sound when inhaling. Croup is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the upper airway, leading to respiratory symptoms.
10. Signs and symptoms of Tuberculosis (TB) include coughing, chest pain, fatigue, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. TB is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body.
