Abstract

Cephalosporins are the third-generation beta-lactam antibiotic. Respiratory infections make up the most common 70% of preterm infants, occurring mainly between the ages of 3 and 6. s, this wrestling has a seasonal course with its peak in the autumn period - and less in the spring. Purpose of the work: To show the effect of third generation cephalosporins on upper respiratory infections in preschool age, and their negative effects. Material and methods: Occasional cases with signs of viral and bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract have been studied. aged 3 to 6 years. In all cases, hemograms were performed with leukoformula, CRP, throat swab, throat inspection, lung auscultation, and anamnestic data. Results obtained: According to the results obtained from 58 suspected bacterial cases in 35 cases we diagnosed bacterial infection according to the protocol for bacterial infections. Out of 58 suspected cases of bacterial infections in 35 cases we have isolated (isolated) streptococcus B haemolyticus of group A, H. influenza, pneumococcus, staphylococci, etc.), in 23 cases in the throat swab results (adenoviruses, influenza virus, parainfluenza, syncytial respirator, etc.). Conclusion: Cephalosporins of the third generation are less toxic to the kidneys and heparin, so the treatment has resulted in extremely high positive effects and remediation of the children's health condition. Cephalosporins of the third generation remain one of the possible sites of good treatment of the above respiratory infections as an alternative to penicillin. Oral cefixime treatment has shown rapid results since the third day of treatment, normalizing fever, cough, and general condition in children.
