Assessment of the Management of Diarrhoea Among Children Under Five in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The magnitude of inadequate antibiotic prescription while managing diarrhoea in our setting was high. On the contrary, a low prescribing rate of ORS and zinc was observed. Our result highlights the need for urgent action to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Health-care professionals should have clear information on the risks of inadequate diarrhoea treatment in children under five.
