Description
Lucas Abreu Dias and colleagues survey how parents and caregivers in southeastern Brazil handle fever in children, and what marks good handling, in a 2026 study. Fever drives a large share of child clinic visits, yet home care often strays from national guidance. A structured survey ran online and in person at primary care units through 2024.
Eight hundred forty-seven caregivers took part, and only forty-two in a hundred met every rule for sound fever care at once. Schooling linked to good care in simple comparisons but faded once other traits were weighed. Waiting some hours before rushing to a clinic, from six up to thirty-six, linked on its own to better care. The authors aim teaching at the decision of when to seek help.
