Material and Methods: The study was quantitative, prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive-correlational. The population was made up of 100 parents with children under 5 years of age who attended the Pediatric Emergency Hospital. The interview and 2 instruments were used: NAKQ and Morisky Green Test. Results: Within the results obtained, 63% of parents have a high level of knowledge and 37% have a low level; Regarding adherence, 84% adhere to the treatment and 16% do not adhere.
