Effect of Symptomatic Treatment Given to Patients Diagnosed with Upper Respiratory Tract Infection in Emergency Department to Prescription Drug Use

Flu is the most common cause of acute illness in the United States of America (USA) and the world (4). Among the underlying causes, many virus families can be blamed. It may be a single factor or may be multifactorial (5). Every year in the USA, 3% of the patients are referred to the clinic and 30% of these patients are prescribed antibiotics (5). Pharyngitis causes an annual hospitalization of nearly 12 million people in the US. It constitutes 1 to 2% of remote care patients (6). This disease is prescribed in each of the clinical applications. Most antibiotics are unnecessary in most patients, but prescriptions often include antibiotics (7).
