outpatient infants (0-6 months of life), affected by symptoms of upper airways disease will be randomly assigned to two type of intervention:

A: treatment group, receiving resveratrol and carbossimetyl beta glucan; B: control group, receiving saline solution.

Each subject underwent clinical history, objective examination and detection of rinovirus in the nasal secretions at enrollment, after 48 hours and after 7 and 30 days.

Detailed Description

Consecutive outpatient infants (0 - 6 months) with common cold symptoms were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: resveratrol plus carboxymethyl-β-glucan solution or saline isotonic solution randomized treatment (3 drops in each nasal fossa, 4 time daily for seven days).
