Is an upper respiratory infection contagious? |
My sister had one and I could have sworn the doctor said it wasn't. In some cases, yes. It depends what type of bacteria are the cause of your sisters URI. Sometimes just breathing on someone or coughing by them can transfer harmful bacteria. Go thru the house with clorox wipes and alcohol surfaces. don't forget phones, doorknobs, etc. Yes, in some cases. my doctor said it wasnt but my dog had it and i got really sick with it the next few days so watch out usually, they are contagious Yes upper respiratory infections are contagious. Often they are nothing more than a cold that is in the chest but still contagious just like the common cold is. That's a cold ,You tell me!!! Why of course it is. Why do you think people are encouraged to use good hygiene etiquette by covering their mouths when they cough whether they have an infection or not? It depends if it's viral or bacterial. |
