    Based on the data mentioned in a patient's diary

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Dynamics of Fever (Changes in Body Temperature on 2, 3, 4, 5 Days of Observation in Comparison With the Baseline) [baseline and days 2, 3, 4 and 5 of observation]

  2. Percentage of Patients With Normal Body Temperature (≤37.0ºС) [On day 2, 3, 4, 5 of observation]

    Axillary temperature (morning and evening) decline to or below 37.0 ºС

  3. Severity of Clinical Manifestations of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) by Total Symptom Score on Day 3 of Observation (Based on the Results of Pediatrician's Examination) and on Days 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Observation (Based on Patient Diary Data) [on Days 2, 3, 4, 5 of Observation]

    The Total Symptom Score (TSS) was based on the severity of each of acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptom. The TSS includes 13 symptoms: Body temperature / fever, Non-specific ARI symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness), Nasal/Throat/Chest symptoms (Runny nose, Nasal congestion, Sneezing, Sore throat, Hoarseness, Cough, Chest pain/Tightness of the chest). The severity of Non-specific and Nasal/Throat/Chest symptom was scored on a symptom severity scale (0 = no symptoms; 1 = mild symptoms; 2 = moderate symptoms; 3 = severe symptoms). The Fever was scored on a symptom severity scale 0 = no symptom (≤37,30С); 1 = mild symptom (37,4-38,00С); 2 = moderate symptom (38,1-39,00); 3 = severe symptom (≥39,10С). Minimum score=0; maximum score=39. The severity of ARI symptoms was recorded: 1) by the doctors on the case record form on Day 3; 2) by one of the patient's parents/adopter on a diary card twice a day (morning and evening) on Days 2-5.

  4. Duration of Acute Respiratory Infection Symptoms (Fever, Non-specific Symptoms and Nasal/ Throat/ Chest Symptoms) Based on Patient Diary Data [baseline and days 2, 3, 4 and 5 of observation]

    Acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptoms include 13 symptoms: Body temperature / fever, Non-specific ARI symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness), Nasal/Throat/Chest symptoms (Runny nose, Nasal congestion, Sneezing, Sore throat, Hoarseness, Cough, Chest pain/Tightness of the chest). The ARI symptoms was recorded by one of the patient's parents/adopter on a diary card twice a day (morning and evening) on Days 1-5.

  5. Severity of the Disease Within 6 Days Was Assessed Using the "Area Under the Curve" for the Total Symptom Score (TSS) [On days 1-6 of observation]

    The Total Symptom Score (TSS) was based on the severity of each of acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptom. The TSS includes 13 symptoms: Body temperature / fever, Non-specific ARI symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness), Nasal/Throat/Chest symptoms (Runny nose, Nasal congestion, Sneezing, Sore throat, Hoarseness, Cough, Chest pain/Tightness of the chest). The severity of Non-specific and Nasal/Throat/Chest symptom was scored on a symptom severity scale (0 = no symptoms; 1 = mild symptoms; 2 = moderate symptoms; 3 = severe symptoms). The Fever was scored on a symptom severity scale 0 = no symptom (≤37,30С); 1 = mild symptom (37,4-38,00С); 2 = moderate symptom (38,1-39,00); 3 = severe symptom (≥39,10С). Minimum score=0; maximum score=39. The severity of ARI symptoms was recorded: 1) by the doctors on the case record form on Days 1, 3, 6; 2) by one of the patient's parents/adopter on a diary card twice a day (morning and evening) on Days 1-5.

  6. Number of Intakes of Antipyretics if Indicated [On day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the treatment]

    Based on data mentioned in a patient's diary

  7. Percentage of Patients With Exacerbation of the Disease Course [On days 1-6 of observation]

    The development of disease complications requiring antibiotics administration or hospitalization

4. Secondary Outcome
Title Severity of Clinical Manifestations of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) by Total Symptom Score on Day 3 of Observation (Based on the Results of Pediatrician's Examination) and on Days 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Observation (Based on Patient Diary Data)
Description The Total Symptom Score (TSS) was based on the severity of each of acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptom. The TSS includes 13 symptoms: Body temperature / fever, Non-specific ARI symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness), Nasal/Throat/Chest symptoms (Runny nose, Nasal congestion, Sneezing, Sore throat, Hoarseness, Cough, Chest pain/Tightness of the chest). The severity of Non-specific and Nasal/Throat/Chest symptom was scored on a symptom severity scale (0 = no symptoms; 1 = mild symptoms; 2 = moderate symptoms; 3 = severe symptoms). The Fever was scored on a symptom severity scale 0 = no symptom (≤37,30С); 1 = mild symptom (37,4-38,00С); 2 = moderate symptom (38,1-39,00); 3 = severe symptom (≥39,10С). Minimum score=0; maximum score=39. The severity of ARI symptoms was recorded: 1) by the doctors on the case record form on Day 3; 2) by one of the patient's parents/adopter on a diary card twice a day (morning and evening) on Days 2-5.

6. Secondary Outcome
Title Severity of the Disease Within 6 Days Was Assessed Using the "Area Under the Curve" for the Total Symptom Score (TSS)
Description The Total Symptom Score (TSS) was based on the severity of each of acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptom. The TSS includes 13 symptoms: Body temperature / fever, Non-specific ARI symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness), Nasal/Throat/Chest symptoms (Runny nose, Nasal congestion, Sneezing, Sore throat, Hoarseness, Cough, Chest pain/Tightness of the chest). The severity of Non-specific and Nasal/Throat/Chest symptom was scored on a symptom severity scale (0 = no symptoms; 1 = mild symptoms; 2 = moderate symptoms; 3 = severe symptoms). The Fever was scored on a symptom severity scale 0 = no symptom (≤37,30С); 1 = mild symptom (37,4-38,00С); 2 = moderate symptom (38,1-39,00); 3 = severe symptom (≥39,10С). Minimum score=0; maximum score=39. The severity of ARI symptoms was recorded: 1) by the doctors on the case record form on Days 1, 3, 6; 2) by one of the patient's parents/adopter on a diary card twice a day (morning and evening) on Days 1-5.
Time Frame On days 1-6 of observation
