Acute upper respiratory tract infections j06 is a diagnosis used by doctors to encrypt disability sheets according to the International Classification of Diseases. The cipher is often used due to frequent lesions of the nasopharynx by viral agents.
j06 diagnosis
This code from the International Classification of Diseases means acute infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract. In a hospital diagnosis, j06 can be classified as follows:
- J06.0 - acute laryngopharyngitis;
- J06.8 is given in the case of multiple locations of infectious lesions of the nasopharynx and upper respiratory tract in the acute stage;
- J06.9 is set when an acute infection cannot be specified.
Incidence and etiology
In many cases, a transcript of diagnosis j06 is used to determine acute laryngopharyngitis. The incidence is especially high in winter. In women and men, it can occur with approximately the same frequency.
Acute laryngopharyngitis is an inflammatory lesion of the mucous layer of the pharynx and larynx. The disease is caused by viruses ( influenza viruses , parainfluenza, rhinoviruses), bacteria (streptococci, staphylococci) and fungi. There are catarrhal, edematous, hemorrhagic and phlegmanous forms of the disease.
Acute laryngopharyngitis in adults
The diagnosis of j06 is made with a sore throat, aggravated by swallowing, perspiration, coughing, hoarseness, an increase in submandibular and cervical lymph nodes. The general condition also suffers. Body temperature rises, headache occurs, sweating, muscle pain and weakness appear.
It is diagnosed by examining the pharynx, swollen and red. Laryngoscopy allows you to see inflammatory changes in the larynx and vocal cords. In a general blood test, there will be leukocytosis and an increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. An x-ray of the chest is necessary to rule out the development of bronchitis and pneumonia.
Treatment of acute laryngopharyngitis in adults depends on the cause of the disease. For viral etiology, antiviral agents (Anaferon, Groprinosin, Arbidol, Cycloferon, Remantadin) are the drugs of choice, antibiotics (macrolides, penicillins, cephalosporins) are prescribed for bacterial infections. Anti-inflammatory therapy - to relieve pain, swelling and temperature ("Ibuprofen", "Aspirin", "Paracetamol"). Topical treatments include sprays and absorbable lozenges to relieve the condition. Rinsing with antiseptics: furatsilinom, chlorhexidine, herbal remedies (chamomile, sage, calendula). Antitussive drugs (Libexin, Ambroxol) are also important. Physiotherapeutic procedures are used only after a drop in temperature.
Prevention of acute laryngopharyngitis boils down to hardening the body, increasing immunity, a healthy fortified diet, physical activity and walking in the fresh air.
Acute laryngopharyngitis in children
Pediatricians diagnose j06 in the presence of fever, sore throat, painful swallowing, perspiration, dry barking cough, swollen and sensitive lymph nodes in the neck, sweating, weakness and hoarseness of the voice, up to its disappearance. The doctor will examine the throat of the child, listen to the lungs, prescribe tests, smears from the throat and x-rays.
Antiviral drugs are used to treat children, depending on age. "Amiksin" is used from 7 years old, "Anaferon" - from one month of life, "Influcid" - from 3 years. In the presence of bacterial microflora in the discharge from the pharynx, antibiotics are prescribed. Anti-inflammatory, antihistamines, antipyretic drugs should be used strictly by age. Local treatment will help reduce sore throat and soreness.
In case of illness of a child over the age of three, the sick leave shall be issued to the mother or father.
