Nowadays, the motto is that antibiotics should be carefully considered. Although true scarlet fever, for example, requires antibiotic treatment, many other respiratory diseases may not require it. In addition to the question of whether bacterial pathogens are really present, the general condition of the patient is also decisive. If antibiotic therapy is decided upon, this should be carried out in accordance with current guideline recommendations and as quickly and as narrowly as possible.
