Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

To answer the questions:

(1) Does recommending increased fluid intake as a treatment for acute respiratory infections improve duration and severity of symptoms?

(2) Are there adverse effects from recommending increased fluids in patients with acute respiratory infections?

(3) Are any benefits or harm related to site (upper or lower respiratory tract), or different severity of illness?
