Most cases of ABRS are preceded by a viral upper respiratory tract infection and will resolve within a few days without the need for antibiotics. The diagnosis of ABRS is made too frequently in patients with viral symptoms of only a few days duration. Such over diagnosis of ABRS leads to the inappropriate prescription of antibiotics and contribution to the emergence and spread of bacterial resistance.
