Regional differences in symptomatic fever management among paediatricians in Switzerland: the results of a cross‐sectional Web‐based survey

Abstract

Switzerland offers the opportunity to compare three different regions with respect to management of febrile children. This inquiry shows regional differences in symptomatic fever management and in the perceived frequency of exaggerated fear of fever. The gap between available evidence and clinical practice is more pronounced in the French and in the Italian speaking regions than in the German speaking region.
