Upper respiratory illnesses can happen when you least expect them. When your primary care physician isn’t available and urgent care is not an option, a house call doctor can provide prompt assistance with upper respiratory illnesses in the comfort of your home or hotel.

Treating Upper Respiratory Illnesses at Home
Most of the time, upper respiratory illnesses are self-limiting and resolve within a week or two after the onset of symptoms. Home care can help speed along your recovery.
- Sleep: Sleep is known as the best medicine for a reason – it gives your body the opportunity to rest and repair, which in turn helps your body recover more quickly from an illness.
- Eat: You may not have an appetite while you are ill, but nourishing your body with antioxidant-packed food can help not only give you the energy you need to eal, but help remove the free radicals produced by your illness as well.
- Hydrate: When you are dehydrated, the cells in your body do not have adequate hydration to function normally. Normal cell function is doubly important when you are ill. Staying hydrated can help your cells do their jobs and help you feel better faster.
Contact a doctor about an upper respiratory illness when you notice the following symptoms:
- Chest pain
- Blood is present in your phlegm when you cough
- A persistent fever
- Symptoms that worsen over time
