Summary

This study tests a mobile app that guides parents on giving the correct dose of paracetamol to children aged 3 months to 5 years with fever or acute pain. About 100 children will use the app for up to 7 days after leaving the emergency room. The goal is to see if the app helps parents follow the prescribed treatment plan more accurately.
