[Fever is children].
Fever is a common symptom in childhood, and is often a sign of innocuous infection. Although most children with serious infections are diagnosed at clinical examination, there are important exceptions that should be borne in mind by all physicians. The article provides advice as to when parents ought to consult a physician in cases of childhood fever, and on the use of antipyretics.
