Administration of combination antipyretics for relief of fever in children

Abstract

Fever in children is one of the most common symptoms of a disease. This is due to the fact that fever is a defensive reaction of the organism which occurs as response to pyrogenic stimuli. Availability of fever-lowering drugs leads to uncontrolled use, overdose, complications and side effects. Pediatrician’s task is to determine a rational approach to the management of children with fever and justified prescription of antipyretic drugs, given the possibility of monotherapy and combined medications.
