At the first stage main group (35 children) was treated with antibiotic fusafungine — Bioparox which is active against Candida and Staphylococcus aureus in dosage 4 inhalations 4 times daily during 7–10 days combined with antihistamine drugs. At the second stage patients received anti-allergic treatment of year-round AR with cromones, topical corticosteroids and antihistamine drugs according to the severity of a disease. The second group (25 children) was treated according to the traditional anti-allergicь scheme of therapy.
