• Antibiotics of a group of penicillins (Flemokin Soluteab, Amoxicillin, ampicillin, amoxiclav). If their effectiveness is not justified, the doctor reassigns other medicines;

• Azithromycin of the Macrolid Group (Hemomycin, Sumamed) - well helps in infections in children of the upper respiratory tract;
• Fluoroquinolone group (Aveoks, Moxifloxacin, Levofloxacin).
With uncomplicated ORVI diseases, it is considered to be inappropriate to treat children with antibiotics. And if the virus origin of the disease is proved, then it is urgent to refuse their reception. Also without consulting a doctor and without surrendering analyzes should not use antibiotics on their own.

What can antibiotics treat?
Treatment of children with antibiotics should be carried out with many factors. Parents should be aware of the consequences of taking antibiotics before independently prescribe them to their child:
• There is a disorder of the intestine microflora - you may encounter diarrhea, constipation, bowelism. In order to avoid these phenomena, antibiotics are always prescribed in parallel therapy with yogurts, frans or special useful intestinal bacteria;
• Increases the risk of allergies - the child can be covered with spots, rash. Also antibiotics, killing and useful microflora, open the gates for "work" of bad microbes - can develop stomatitis or other infections against which beneficial bacteria ceased;
• It is possible to lose a lot of time in ineffective treatment and a lot of funds for treating the effects of children's therapy with antibiotics;
• disappearance of appetite;
• The immune defense of the body and the production of antibodies to future diseases is reduced.
It is very important when choosing antibiotics to follow the instructions for age restrictions, contraindications, dosage and drug reception rules, because in one moment the medicine against illness can turn into biological weapons against your child. Also in the complex with antibiotics, non-antibiotic treatment is not prescribed, because the effect of them is hidden and you can miss the time to change therapy.
The most important thing in the treatment of children with antibiotics is the cause of the disease. If the doctor did not find anything dangerous, but you do not trust him, referring to the bad well-being of the baby, to be patient for a couple more days: the temperature should leave, and the children's body will overcome the virus on their own, because the interferon in the body begins to break the virus.
