About the Case Presentation
Fever management in pediatric emergencies involves prompt assessment to determine the underlying cause and severity. Accurate temperature measurement is essential for guiding treatment decisions. Antipyretics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen are commonly used to reduce fever and alleviate discomfort. Monitoring for signs of serious illness, such as meningitis or sepsis, is crucial for timely intervention. Educating caregivers on fever management and when to seek medical help ensures better outcomes for pediatric patients.
