Program Abstract:
Primary care clinicians in college health frequently see patients with upper respiratory concerns. In this lecture, we will discuss recent guidelines for topics such as sinusitis, updating clinicians as to best practices in 2019. We will also review intriguing research involving steroid use for pharyngitis, the latest on zinc for colds, and other treatment options. Clinicians should leave this talk with a practical, evidence-based armamentarium for treating both bacterial and viral upper respiratory infections.
