Abstract
Despite significant public health efforts, acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are still very common among children. Most ARIs (both mono- and mixed forms that became more frequent recently) are caused by viruses. Inappropriate use of antibiotics in patients with ARIs leads to an increase in antibiotic resistance, which is a highly relevant problem now. Administration of antibiotics requires an individual approach and better knowledge of practitioners regarding the problem of antibiotic resistance. Since clinical manifestations of upper respiratory tract infections (that represent a large proportion of all ARIs in children) include both general intoxication symptoms (fever, decreased appetite, weakness, and fatigue) and local symptoms (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sore throat increasing during swallowing, and cough) and the most common pathogens causing ARIs are viruses, local anti-inflammatory and bactericidal agents in the form of gargles or tablets for resorption are preferable. Key words: respiratory infections, children, mixed infection, Faringosept
