Home treatments are important in the management of acute respiratory infection (ARI). In order to examine how urban mothers in Lahore, managed ARI, a study was carried out within 1-km radius of a teaching hospital. A total of 50 mothers who had at least one child aged 2 months-5 years with an ARI from each of three settings-a lower class locality, a middle class locality and the outpatient department of the hospital were interviewed during the winters of 1992-93. A substantial proportion of mothers, particularly those from the lower class locality (44%), did not use home treatment for acute respiratory infection. The majority of mothers indicated that they would not use home treatment if their child had an ARI in the future. The importance of home treatment has to be introduced into the community probably by programmes conducted by health professionals.
家庭治疗在急性呼吸道感染（ARI）的管理中很重要。为了研究拉合尔的城市母亲如何管理急性呼吸道感染，在一家教学医院半径1公里范围内开展了一项研究。在1992 - 1993年冬季，对来自三个场所（一个低收入社区、一个中收入社区和医院门诊部）且至少有一个2个月至5岁患急性呼吸道感染孩子的50位母亲进行了访谈。相当一部分母亲，尤其是来自低收入社区的母亲（44%），没有对急性呼吸道感染采用家庭治疗。大多数母亲表示，如果她们的孩子未来患急性呼吸道感染，她们不会采用家庭治疗。家庭治疗的重要性可能需要通过卫生专业人员开展的项目引入社区。
