Among the many antibiotics that treat infections of the respiratory system, the most common and with a large role are penicillins, cephalosporins, and macrolides. Acute otitis media is rapidly formed otitis media, with the duration of the inflammatory process to 3 weeks. As a rule, there is a nasal-pharyngeal route, and causes are viruses, bacteria and / or a viral / bacterial coinfection. To determine the effectiveness of amoxicillin, amoxicillin with clavulanate, ceftriaxone and azithromycin in children aged 0 to 14 years, depending on the number of repeat episodes. 120 patients with acute inflammation of the middle ear, treated in the cabinet of Otorhinolaryngology of Health Center of Gracanica. Diagnosis of the patients was placed and confirmed on the basis of physical examination, laboratory and microbiological analysis and tympanometry findings. 120 children aged 0-14 years. 52 (43.33%) male and 68 (56.67%) female. In 37 (30.83%) an episode of OMA, in 41 (34.86%) two episodes, in 29 (24.16%) three, in 13 (10.83%) cases more than three episodes in the past year. In 23 (19.16%) two epizide acute inflammation shorter than two months, in 11 (9.16%) children 3 episodes in 6 months, and in 13 (10.83%) children four episodes OMA for a period of one year . Causes: Streptococcus pneumoniae (37.64%), Haemophilus inphluenzae (14.11%), Moraxella catarrhalis (12.94%) and Pseudomonas (12.94%), Staphylococcus aureus (4.70%), Escherichia coli (4.70%) and Streptococcus pyogenes (3.52%). Amoxicillin (90 mg / kg bw) and amoxicillin + clavulanate (90 mg / kg bw), azithromycin (5-10 mg / kg bw), ceftriaxone (50mg / kg). Based on our research, we came to the data that is generally consistent with the WHO recommendations for the treatment of OMA in children.
