The article discusses the problem of teething in babies, the related mechanisms and factors. The research findings demonstrate the importance of different clinical symptoms of teething in infants, the relationship of the process with the baby's body type. Questions of the current therapy of pathological teething are considered.

The authors discuss the features of the treatment of acute respiratory infections (ARI) in the modern era, emphasizing the lack of its efficacy due to the constantly emerging drug resistance in viruses and bacteria. The article substantiates and proposes a modern approach to the prevention and treatment of ARI, using preparations of natural origin. It also analyses the international and domestic experience in using the bioregulatory approach to the treatment of ARI in practical medicine. The legal basis for using the homoeopathy method in Russia is discussed. The authors share their own clinical experience, analyse a clinical case, provide the detailed history of life and illness of a child, and propose a consistent protocol for patient treatment alongside with an explanation of the chosen approach.

Изобретение антибактериальных препаратов стало одним из величайших открытий прошлого столетия. Эффективное противодействие возбудителям инфекционных заболеваний позволило сохранить жизнь многим и многим больным. Однако в современной действительности мы сталкиваемся с оборотной стороной широкого использования данных лекарственных препаратов: с ростом резистентности к ним и увеличением количества побочных действий. Это не может не беспокоить медицинскую общественность. С одной стороны, остро данная проблема встала еще в конце 1990-х гг., когда в силу различных причин замедлился процесс разработки и внедрения новых антимикробных препаратов. С другой стороны, широкое бесконтрольное использование антибиотиков за счет их доступности и неадекватности назначения привело к усилению формирования резистентности к ним различных микроорганизмов.Ключевые слова: острые респираторные инфекции, вирусные инфекции, антибиотикорезистентность, растительные препараты, Умкалор. I.N. KHOLODOVA, MD, Prof., D.I. KHOLODOV Russian Medical Academy of Continuous Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Health of Russia, Moscow HOW TO REDUCE RESISTANCE TO ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY? Development of antibacterial agents became one of the greatest inventions of the previous century.The effective counteraction to infectious disease agents allowed saving lives of many patients. But in our day-to-day activities we face the reverse side of the widespread use of such drugs: growth of resistance to them and increase of side effects. This can't but cause concern of the medical community. On the one hand, this problem was urgent at the end of the 90s when due to various reasons a process of development and implementation of new antimicrobials reduced. On the other hand, wide uncontrolled use of antibiotics due to their availability and low adequacy of prescription led to increase of resistance development to them of various microorganisms.
