Upper respiratory tract infections are very common in childhood with some, such as otitis media, having a significant prevalence; it

is reported that up to 84 % of individuals under three years of age experience at least one episode of middle ear inflammation. Other

conditions, such as acute epiglottitis, are very rare but extremely dangerous and require transport to a specialized centre where emergency

airway management is available. The majority of catarrhs of the upper respiratory tract are infections that require basic diagnostic

knowledge and strategies.
