The efficacy of oral amoxicillin is considered equal to that of ceftriaxone in community-acquired pneumonia among children. Also, there are some factors that contradict the usage of ceftriaxone, like antibiotic resistance, adverse reactions, drug cost, and the and the chances of IV trauma and infection, which is a major problem in developing countries.
