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 looks at whether giving common antibiotics in certain dose schedules (either through a drip over time or continuously) is done in a way that fits pediatric intensive care needs. It may help improve antibiotic treatment for children who are very sick and need antibiotics.
