Differences in attitudes and culture across countries exist but the parent-child bond is similar.Children healthcare is greatly influenced by parent’s experiences and interaction with the health care professional. A set of studies from the USA and Dutch revealed almost equal expectations from the general practitioners to prescribe antibiotics for deep coughs and/or bronchitis within their children and also being convinced that runny noses with a green discharge should be treated with antibiotics. These studies had a corresponding response of 98% and 78% respectively (Godycki-Cwirko, M., Jochen W L Cals et al, 2014). The other important study from Italy a country known for high prescribing levels, revealed a high association of specific conditions with high prescription rates. The conditions that received the high prescription rates included acute otitis and lower respiratory tract infection which in turn contributed to drivers of antibiotic prescribing on a large scale (Piovani, D., Clavenna, A et al,
