Abstract

Pneumonia is one of the most common diseases in children, and one of those that can cause many complications and even death. Accordingly, the treatment of this disease should be maximally effective and short-lived. The best choice for treating pneumonia is a group of oral aminopenicillins, whichwere administered in the first days of the disease and showed significantly better results than patients treated with cephalosporins.
