Against the background of post-COVID syndrome, antibiotic resistance and reduced immune activity are observed in the population, which often lead to severe bacterial complications.

The problem of weakened immunity has risen most acutely since the coronavirus pandemic. Experts believe that the best defense against infection is — adequate immunity that needs to be trained. Zaitseva Olga Vitalievna, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Head. Department of Pediatrics FGBOU VPO MGMSU them. A.I. Evdokimova Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, noted the importance of immunocorrection, both for the purposes of therapy and prevention.
Children's body is very fragile and experts approach immunocorrection in children with great care, choosing those means that have the most natural effect on the immune system.< strong> Kalyuzhin Oleg Vitalievich, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Clinical Immunology and Allergology, First Moscow State Medical University. THEM. Sechenov of the Ministry of Health of Russiadrew attention to the drug azoximer bromide (Polyoxidonium®). The most important task of immunocorrection of any disease is not only to replenish the missing immune response, but also to suppress the redundancy of some immune responses. Azoximer bromide — a universal remedy used both in case of deficiency and excess of the body's response.
Experts believe that the most important task in the treatment of children is to maintain immunity. Regular prescription of antibiotics destroys it, Kirichenko Irina Mikhailovna, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor is sure: “It is a proven fact that after a single prescription of antibiotics, the biome will recover only after a year. Colleagues from the US and the UK conducted a study: in patients who were prescribed antibiotics for up to a year, after 35 years they had problems with the gastrointestinal tract, including the pancreas.
The professor emphasized that it is necessary to preserve the beneficial bacteria of the body from childhood. Otherwise, the body’s recognition of the “friend or foe” system is disrupted, leading to unhindered penetration of infections.
After SARS, adenoiditis and sinusitis are considered the most common complications, for the treatment of which antibiotics are most often prescribed. Irina Kirichenko added that their use depends on the degree of the course of the disease: “Polyoxidonium® can come to the aid of the immune system to prevent the transition of a viral disease into a bacterial one. It was found that the drug improves the function of the mucous membrane, reduces the manifestation of viral infections, improves nasal breathing and reduces the course of the disease in fact by half.
Azoximer bromide can be prescribed both on the first day of the onset of respiratory symptoms and on stage of the disease. In addition, the drug is successfully combined with other drugs.
