Motivation for the study. Therapeutic guidelines for COVID-19 in children changed constantly during the pandemic. In Peru, the variation of the treatment during the different waves of the pandemic has not been studied. Main findings. During the third wave, there was a greater number of patients with COVID-19; however, these patients had less severe symptoms. The use of ceftriaxone and azithromycin was less frequent during the third wave. The use of immunoglobulin was only found in patients with pediatric inflammatory multisystemic syndrome. Implications. Determining the patterns of medication use during the COVID-19 pandemic in the pediatric population will allow us to evaluate how the therapeutic decision-making process evolved in this population
