What is it about?
Fever is the most common manifestation of different diseases in children. Minor infectious diseases are the prior cause of fever onset. Nevertheless, caregivers remain over concerned about trivial rise of temperature in children which leads to increasing burden in indoor and outdoor of the hospitals.

Why is it important?
There is scarcity of evidence regarding Bangladeshi caregivers' perception on management of fever in children. This research opens a window for future implication and making guidelines for parental awareness.
Perspectives
We tried to assess the existing knowledge and practice of the caregivers regarding initial management of childhood fever. Implementation of guidelines is recommended to decrease fear in caregivers and inappropriate burden of hospitals.
