| Abstract |
Inappropriate use of antibiotics leads to increased levels of bacterial resistance making it difficult to treat upper respiratory tract infections. The appropriate use of these drugs has a fundamental role in controlling resistance and in success of treatment of childhood infections. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prescription and use of antibiotics for Brazilian children. |
