Acute rhinopharyngitis is a fairly common viral infection that often occurs when the weather changes, especially when the weather turns cold. Acute rhinopharyngitis in children often has symptoms such as sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, fever and cough.

Colds are caused by viruses and none of the antibiotics in the world can help fight them. This means that antibiotics are not always effective in treating symptoms such as a runny nose caused by a cold. In addition, using antibiotics when they are not needed can make them less effective and can sometimes lead to antibiotic resistance.
