Brief summary:
Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis (ABRS) is a respiratory inflammation commonly seen in clinical practice, which has with respiratory symptoms including nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea, postnasal discharge and cough and is associated with headache, cheek pain, facial pressure and other conditions. The principal bacterial pathogens in causing ABRS include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis. These three bacteria account for approximately 90% of ABRS in children less than or equal to 5 years of age. Combination of Potassium Clavulanate (CVA) and Amoxicillin (AMPC) produces higher antibiotic activity against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. The present study is designed to assess the clinical efficacy, bacteriological efficacy and safety of CVA/AMPC (1:14) administered in children aged from 3 months to less than 15 years with ABRS. It is an open-label study consisting of a 7-day treatment phase and a post-treatment follow-up phase for 7 to 14 days.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Each participant will take Potassium Clavulanate (CVA)/ Amoxicillin (AMPC) corresponding 6.4/90 mg/kg/day in two divided doses (every 12 hours) just before lactation or meal for 7 days depending on his/her body weight at the start of treatment (Day 1). The actual daily dose depends on the body weight of the participant.

Interventions: intervention 1: Amoxicillin-Potassium Clavulanate Combination
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: The drug is available in two sachets (CVA/AMPC Dry Syrup 0.505 g and CVA/AMPC Dry Syrup 1.01 g). CVA/AMPC Dry Syrup 1.01 g sachet contains 42.9 mg of Potassium Clavulanate and 600 mg of Amoxicillin Hydrate. It is a white to yellowish white powder and has strawberry flavor and it is white to yellowish white suspension when it is suspended before use.
