The common cold, sinusitis (sinus infection), tonsillitis, and laryngitis are upper respiratory tract infections. Bronchitis, bronchiolitis, chest infection, and pneumonia are examples of lower respiratory tract infections (lung infections). Flu can be classified as an upper or lower respiratory tract infection.
