ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION
Fever is a common occurrence during childhood, and it is a defense mechanism of the body against infections. However, this response tends to worry and cause fear in parents or those responsible for children, and this is called “feverphobia”, since an increase in body temperature is considered an alarm signal in children, as it can lead to convulsions and dehydration (Brazil, 2023).
