Antibiotic therapy often used in upper respiratory infections in children under 5 years. Riobamba General Hospital, 2018 ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: High breaths infections constitute a 50% of the most frequent reason for pediatric emergency room consultation. The inappropriate antibiotics prescription in the child population represents a problem that affects developed and developing countries. OBJECTIVE: Determine the frequency of use of antibiotics in upper respiratory tract infections in children under 5 years old, in the emergency room of the Riobamba General Hospital period April to December 2018. METHOD: Descriptive, analytical, non-experimental, retrospective, in a sample of 50 elderly subjects of 18 years admitted by sepsis, during the period July-December 2018. RESULTS: We found a sore throat 89.1% prevalence; the most attended was the preschool one with 53.3%, and 51.3% of female prevalence, in the antibiotics prescription the 82.6%; 36.8% did fulfill the criteria to take antibiotics. Unsiutable criteria was done by the emergency resident to use antibiotics therapy 43.8% (p = 0.002) besides the incorrect drug dose prescription at 42.0% (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The disease with major prevalence was pharyngotonsillitis, mostly diagnosed in preschoolers, where it was also shown that there is a relationship between unsuitable prescription both dosages and unnecessary use of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for upper respiratory illness.
