Better fever advice for parents calling 15
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests if giving parents written information and a text message after calling the emergency medical number (SAMU Centre 15) helps them better manage their child’s simple fever at home. It is for children with fever alone, no other concerning symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child is between 3 months and 10 years old.
