Abstract
The article discusses the possibilities of local antibiotic therapy for acute respiratory infections in children. Despite the fact that most acute respiratory infections are caused by viruses, unreasonably high (up to 70% and higher in different countries) prescription of antibacterial drugs by primary care physicians has been observed. At the same time, it is highly likely that bacterial superinfection may develop in young children, in children with a prolonged course of acute respiratory infection, as well as in children with chronic ENT pathology, which requires the prescription of antibacterial therapy both to treat and, possibly, to prevent bacterial superinfection. In this case, the drug of choice should be antibiotics for topical (inhalation) use, such as Fluimucil®-antibiotic IT, which act directly at the infection site with the achievement of a quick therapeutic effect, without side effects that are associated with systemic antibiotics.
