Upper respiratory tract infections in children.
Respiratory tract infections are a frequent problem for children, families, and pediatricians. Most such infections are trivial and do not warrant significant concern; however, for some children and some infections, aggressive and effective therapy is important. Much of the literature discussed in this article reflects attempts to clarify and improve appropriate use of antimicrobial therapy for those children in whom it is necessary.
