28 Feb 2023

85% of total antibiotic consumption in children is in cases of upper respiratory tract infections (middle ear inflammation, sinusitis, colds)

The study has shown the following:

85% of total antibiotic consumption in children is in cases of upper respiratory tract infections (middle ear inflammation, sinusitis, colds, sore throat)80% of upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria. From this we can conclude that the study showed that 65% of the total consumption of all antibiotics among children in the European countries covered by the study was wrong – antibiotics were administered in viral infections, where their use is wrong and unjustified, because the antibiotic does not cure the virus.
