概述
Feverish illness is one of the leading causes for a child to be seen by healthcare professionals, and is a major cause for hospital admissions. In 2007, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published the original guidance on feverish illness in children (CG47). This
was developed to aid healthcare professionals in their decision-making process while managing children aged <5 years with fever. This guidance has been revised multiple times in 2013 (CG160) and 2019 (NG143) and was updated in 2017.
