Treating viral upper respiratory infections (URI) with antibiotics contributes to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Major drivers of unnecessary prescribing are a patient's expectation to receive antibiotics for acute illness and the physician's desire to provide satisfactory care. Our objective was to determine if receiving an antibiotic prescription for URI is associated with increased patient satisfaction.
