[Otorhinolaryngological aspects of acute respiratory diseases]
Abstract:
The etiology and pathogenesis of acute respiratory infections are examined, given treatment recommendations according to four clinical-pathogenic phases of acute respiratory disease: virus aggression, bacterial superinfection, suppression of main functions of the mucous membrane, convalescence. The method of ultrasonic irrigation of the nasal mucosa and pharynx with 0.02% chlorhexidine for bacterial superinfection control is fully covered. The scheme of rehabilitation for the normalization of mucociliary clearance and recovery functions of the mucous membrane of respiratory tract infections is given.
