    This document outlines risk factors and mechanisms for respiratory infections in children. It discusses modifiable risk factors like respiratory infections and rigorous activity, as well as non-modifiable factors like age. It then describes how triggers like viruses can inflame the respiratory mucosa, increasing mucus and causing airway tightening, leading to symptoms like wheezing. The diagnosis process examines signs like tachypnea, tachycardia, and abnormal lung and ear examinations.
