Clinical Guidelines on Fever in Children (document)

The Clinical Guidelines on Fever in Children provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based recommendations for managing fever in kids. They emphasize assessing the child's overall condition rather than just the temperature, identifying warning signs of serious illness, and determining when to perform further tests or seek urgent care. The guidelines advise appropriate use of medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen, and highlight the importance of hydration and monitoring. They aim to ensure that children receive safe, effective care while avoiding unnecessary treatments or hospital visits, helping parents and clinicians make informed decisions about managing childhood fevers.
