title: Managing paediatric patients with pyrexia.
abstract: Pyrexia is the most common clinical complaint seen in children by healthcare professionals, yet many parents and professionals cannot recognise the condition and misunderstand antipyretic administration. This article explores the research on the use of antipyretics in children with fever, and compares concomitant and monotherapeutic methods of ibuprofen and paracetamol administration.
