What Is Upper Respiratory Management?
Upper respiratory care involves diagnosing, treating, and preventing infections in the upper respiratory tract, which includes the nose, sinuses, throat, and larynx. Some of the most common upper respiratory infections (URIs) include laryngitis, pharyngitis (sore throat), and the common cold, all of which are highly contagious. While most URIs last a short time, they can cause long-term problems for your health and comfort. Dr. Wilmer Valentin and our team at Houston Metropolitan Medical specialize in treating upper respiratory infections, relieving patients' symptoms so they can breathe easily. Whether you're struggling with seasonal allergies or chronic sinus problems, we're here to help. Contact our primary care practice in Kingwood, TX to learn about our upper respiratory treatments.
How Do You Treat Upper Respiratory Infections?
We'll start with a comprehensive evaluation of your health and symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms of upper respiratory infection include a runny or stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, and fever. Based on our examination, we'll develop a treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms while addressing the underlying virus or bacteria. In the case of a bacterial infection, Dr. Valentin may prescribe antibiotics. We'll also provide guidance to help you resolve the illness and reduce discomfort at home. The overall goal of upper respiratory management at Houston Metropolitan Medical is to relieve your symptoms, prevent complications, and reduce the spread of the infection. By following the treatment plan and practicing good hygiene, you support your body's natural recovery process and help safeguard the health of those around you.

Best Doctor ever đź‘Ť
I have been under Dr Valentin’s care for over 3 years and he is hands down the best primary care doctor I have ever had! He listens, finds solutions for your care and goes above and beyond for his patients! His office staff follows his great leadership and they show the same work ethic! He recently moved offices and it’s further for me, but I’d travel an hour plus if that meant I could still be seen by him! Thank you Dr V for all that you do! You and your team are so appreciated! If you’re looking for a PCP, I highly recommend Dr Wilmer Valentin!
