https://doi.org/10.21518/2079-701X-2015-15-54-55
Abstract
Antibacterial drugs for the treatment of sore throat in children are prescribed too often, whereas many of these prescriptions are rather unjustified. Systemic antibiotic therapy is really imperative only for diseases caused by streptococci. In other cases of non-specific infectious and inflammatory pathologies of the oral cavity and pharynx it is recommended to use local antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
