Detailed Description:

Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are the most prevalent disease of human beings, it incur a significant health burden on populations in terms of human suffering and economic losses. Usually, antibiotic therapy is not helpful since most infections are virally induced. Over 200 serologically different viral types are responsible for human URTIs, so that preventions of URTIs including vaccination are impassable. SCRT and YPS are widely used to treat the respiratory disease. The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of SCRT and YPS in symptomatic relief of patients with URTIs.
