Unreasonable fear of fever, endeavor to comfort and the consequent unjustified use of medication is one of the most common phenomena in healthcare today.
Antipyretics are the most commonly used drugs in paediatrics.
Therefore, we strive to make the latest evidence-based scientific knowledge of the optimal fever as a normal physiological phenomenon widely available.
We wish to promote an accepting attitude towards fever.
We believe the time has come to to introduce best practices.
Our goal is to reduce the health and economic burden on the individual, and the risks arising from current practice in homecare, emergency and institutional care.
Our professional partners:
University of Pécs University Witten/Herdecke www.FeverApp.de
