NCT ID NCT07532941
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether children with bacterial infections like urinary tract infections, cellulitis, or pneumonia can safely stop oral antibiotics once their symptoms go away, instead of finishing the entire course. About 200 children aged 1 to 17 who have already received IV antibiotics will be enrolled. Parents will track symptoms daily, and the study will compare how many children need to restart antibiotics within 28 days between the two approaches.
