Just to follow up, you would want to use the KR (Children under five recode) file for your analysis. We don't have do files for this logic as DHS final report tabulations are run in CSPro.

The definition of children with symptoms of ARI is based on:
H31B = 1 & (H31C = 1 | H31C = 3)
For children who sought treatment for ARI you would use:
H32A = 1 | H32B = 1 | H32C = 1 | H32D = 1 | H32E = 1 |
H32F = 1 | H32G = 1 | H32H = 1 | H32I = 1 | H32J = 1 |
H32L = 1 | H32N = 1 | H32O = 1 | H32P = 1 |
H32Q = 1 | H32R = 1
(note that this excludes H32K and H32M deliberately)
