Study on acute respiratory infection in children aged 1 year to 5 years-A hospital-based cross-sectional study

CONCLUSION: The studies regarding factors influencing ARI are relatively rare in an urban setting, thus this calls for more studies in urban areas. Health education can change the healthcare-seeking behavior and attitude of parents for preventing ARI-related deaths. Family physicians can play a significant role by educating caregivers of children and giving timely services. Promoting and ensuring exclusive breastfeeding practices, timely weaning after 6 months, and avoidance of bottle feeds can dramatically decrease the episodes of ARI.PMID:37312761 | PMC:PMC10259544 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1748_22
