Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are classified as upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) or lower respiratory tract infections (LRIs). The upper respiratory tract consists of the airways from the nostrils to the vocal cords in the larynx, including the paranasal sinuses and the middle ear. For the treatment of sinusitis and tonsillitis, the treatment done in Western Medicine constantly consists in antibiotics use. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the pathophysiology of these kind of infections are linked to invasion of external pathogenic factors (Wind, Cold, Heat, Dampness or Dryness).
