Common mistakes in treating respiratory illnesses in children

Misusing antibiotics and nasal sprays/drops containing corticosteroids are two of the most common mistakes parents make when treating their children’s respiratory issues. Both types of medication, if not prescribed by a doctor and used incorrectly, can cause many side effects affecting users' health, especially in young children.

According to medical experts, common respiratory symptoms such as a sore throat, cough and fever do not always require antibiotics. Using antibiotics in these cases neither helps reduce the symptoms nor prevents side effects. Instead, it poses risks of drug-resistant bacteria, complicating future treatments.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has also issued warnings about the global antibiotic resistance crisis. It predicts that by 2050, around 10 million people could die each year due to drug-resistant bacteria—equivalent to one death every three seconds. At that point, even minor conditions like a simple cough or a small cut on the skin could be fatal.

Overusing antibiotics in respiratory treatment increases antibiotic resistance in children

Similarly, the misuse or overuse of nasal sprays/drops containing corticosteroids can become a 'double-edged sword', causing unpredictable consequences such as high blood pressure, cataracts or osteoporosis.
