Delaying antibiotics for respiratory infections.

Delayed prescribing appears to be a reasonable and safe option in patients with cough and in those who do not appear very ill, but it cannot be recommended for children with sore throat unless streptococcal pharyngitis has been ruled out. Delayed prescribing of antibiotics results in a small increase in symptoms in some groups of patients at day 3. However, this risk must be balanced against the benefits of fewer antibiotic side effects, less antibiotic resistance, and lower cost.
