Respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and fever can result from infections like colds, flu, or COVID-19, as well as allergies or chronic respiratory conditions. These symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe illness, sometimes requiring urgent medical attention if progressing to bronchitis or pneumonia. Primary management includes adequate rest, hydration, good hygiene practices, and seeking medical evaluation when necessary. Acupuncture and certain herbal remedies may help support immune function and relieve symptoms. Chiropractic care can aid respiratory function by optimizing spinal alignment. Importantly, prevention through nutrition, exercise, and proper sleep helps bolster the body’s defenses against respiratory illness.
