Summary

This study tests whether giving parents a simple text message with fever care advice, along with standard information, can reduce unnecessary ER visits and doctor calls for children aged 3 months to 10 years with uncomplicated fever. About 1,792 parents who call the emergency medical service will be randomly assigned to receive the text or not. The goal is to see if this low-cost approach helps parents manage fever safely at home and eases strain on the healthcare system.
