70 children aged 4 to 12 years with acute infection and inflammation of the respiratory tract (laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia) were enrolled in a double-blind investigation and randomised to treatment with nimesulide (50mg granules twice daily) or lysine-aspirin (360mg granules twice daily) for 5 days. The drugs were similarly effective in reducing cough, asthenia and dyspnoea, although nimesulide-treated patients experienced fewer gastrointestinal adverse events. These results confirm the efficacy of nimesulide in the treatment of respiratory inflammation and provide preliminary evidence of its value in children.
