Multicenter Study
The attitudes and expectation of caregivers of febrile child receiving medical services: a multicenter survey in Thailand.
Most caregivers may visit pediatric outpatient clinics with high concern of fever and improper antipyretic use. However, studies of concern about fever in Asian countries are still limited. ⋯ Caregivers' high concern of fever existed in Thailand. This may lead to unnecessary high doses of antipyretics. In clinical practice, the high concern of fever is a challenge for caregivers and pediatric health care providers. A better understanding of fever and its consequence should be advocated for proper management of the child's fever.
