Brief description/objective
Fever is an important and common symptom. The science of fever is as old as humanity itself. Fever is often associated - by patients and healthcare professionals - with the need for antipyretics and antibiotics and can cause uncertainty and anxiety. However, fever per se is not dangerous and usually does not need to be treated. A step-by-step approach is worthwhile when working up fever.
