    Respiratory conditions constitute a compendium of short-term transmissible disorders, but their adverse symptoms can lead to incorrect treatment, which predisposes to possible adverse effects and problems related to medications. This group of diseases has a high incidence, especially in vulnerable populations such as children, who do not have their own decision-making power, so parents frequently opt for empirical treatment in cases of illness. Objective: This research aims to "Determine whether there are factors associated with parents' attitudes toward self-medication in children with acute respiratory infections in the preschool and primary levels of the Imagina School." Configuration: The descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional survey included 206 parents. A form was used as a tool to assess sociodemographic elements, knowledge, and parental habits regarding issues related to self-medication. The data collected was processed and examined using IBM SPSS V 27. The results obtained showed that 67.5% of parents of students at Imagina School presented an appropriate attitude, which is related to the knowledge and customs regarding self-medication in children for acute respiratory infections. (Rho = 0.588), with a positive correlation and moderate level, both sociodemographic factors, knowledge about self-medication and customs are correlated with the attitude of parents towards self-medication. It was concluded that there are factors that are associated with the attitude of parents towards self-medication in children for acute respiratory infections, this is directly related and with a medium intensity.
