Abstract
Parents either do not know or insufficiently understand the purpose of the use of antibiotics in the treatment of children's URTI. Parents trust in a doctor's decision concerning antibiotic therapy, but frequently consult the Internet. Doctors give in to parents' demands and prescribe antibiotics. Not respecting recommendations and antibiotics “self-treatment” are reprehensible. There is a need of educating parents and doctors in the reasonable use of antibiotics.
