Acute otitis, sinusitis, and tonsillitis in children are the most common reason for consultation and at the same time a zone of excessive and not always justified antibiotic prescribing. The course helps build a rational and evidence-based treatment strategy that reduces the risk of complications and recurrences.

You will more confidently differentiate the viral and bacterial nature of inflammation, choose therapy with sound justification, and clearly explain the treatment plan to parents. The material was prepared by practicing pediatric ENT specialists based on current guidelines.
