Comparing antibiotic use at home after emergency or clinic visits
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how well children take their antibiotics when prescribed in a hospital emergency room versus a primary care clinic. It aims to see if where the prescription is given affects how faithfully the medicine is taken.

This study looks at how children with common infections feel while taking antibiotics. The goal is to better understand symptom patterns during treatment.
This study tests ways to help doctors avoid prescribing antibiotics when they are not needed for children with ear infections. If you are a parent of a child diagnosed with an ear infection or a healthcare provider, you may be able to join different parts of the study.
This trial compares different antibiotic strategies for children with pneumonia who are being treated as outpatients. The goal is to find the best approach to treat the infection and help your child recover.
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics to children: stopping when symptoms feel better versus finishing all the prescribed doses. Researchers want to see if stopping early is safe and works just as well, which could help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
This study compares two common antibiotics to treat acute middle ear infection in children aged 1 to 5 years. The goal is to see if adding clavulanic acid helps the infection get better faster or with fewer side effects.
