A safe and inexpensive approach to respiratory infections requires: 1. an accurate diagnosis, 2. a critical attitude towards drugs whose clinical efficacy is unproven, 3. to avoid antibiotics where they are not strictly indicated, 4. to use penicillin instead of more expensive (and often less active) antibiotics in the treatment of infections due to streptococci or pneumococci.
