Easton G, Saxena S, 2010, Antibiotic prescribing for upper respiratory tract infections in children: how can we improve?, London J Prim Care (Abingdon), Vol: 3, Pages: 37-41, ISSN: 1757-1472
Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in children is one of the most common problems that general practitioners (GPs) see. Although complications from URTIs are rare, and antibiotics offer little or no benefit in uncomplicated cases, antibiotic prescribing has increased in recent years following a decline in the late 1990s. This article explores possible reasons for the increase, weighs the evidence on withholding antibiotics and asks how GPs will interpret recent National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellent (NICE) guidelines when dealing with URTI in children. We review some of the latest approaches to help implement antibiotic prescribing guidelines and suggest some practical solutions to help busy GPs.

KEY MESSAGES: General practitioners (GPs) can play a key role in tackling the current obesity epidemic, especially helping parents who may not realise that their child is overweight. In a ten-minute consultation, a GP should: explore a parent's ideas, concerns and expectations about food and exercise and build a picture of the home environmentexclude medical causes of overweight and plot height and weight on a growth chartoffer practical strategies and achievable goals, agree follow up and involve the multidisciplinary team for support. WHY THIS MATTERS TO ME: Childhood obesity is a global epidemic that has significant impact on the physical and psychological health and development of children, and often persists into adulthood where the health sequelae are well known. Parents are key players in putting healthy living advice into practice but our recent systematic review showed that parents are poor at recognising overweight in their own children. We believe GPs are key to providing health promotion for this group. However, to approach this sensitive subject requires one to have confidence and skills at one's fingertips and we hope this guide can provide these.
