Brief Summary:
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two treatments for children with acute otitis media (middle ear infection). The two treatments being compared are amoxicillin alone and a combination of amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid. The study will help determine which treatment works better in helping children recover faster and reduce the risk of treatment failure or recurrence. By providing clearer evidence, the research aims to guide better treatment choices for children suffering from this common infection.
Detailed Description:
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of two antibiotic treatments in children diagnosed with acute otitis media, a common ear infection. The two treatments being compared are amoxicillin alone and a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Acute otitis media is a significant health concern in children, causing pain, fever, and possible hearing loss.
The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial at the Department of Pediatric Medicine, Nishtar Hospital, Multan. A total of 162 children, aged 1 to 5 years, will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: one group will receive amoxicillin, and the other group will receive amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid. The children will be monitored throughout their treatment to assess how quickly their symptoms resolve, whether they experience treatment failure or recurrence, and if they develop any side effects.
The study aims to provide clearer evidence on the efficacy of the combination treatment (amoxicillin + clavulanic acid) compared to amoxicillin alone. By analyzing treatment outcomes such as symptom resolution time, side effects, and recurrence, the study will help inform clinical decisions and improve treatment protocols for acute otitis media in pediatric patients. The data will be analyzed using statistical software to determine whether the combination therapy leads to faster recovery and fewer complications. The findings from this study will contribute to better management of upper respiratory infections in children.
