What is the Fever Management Score Calculator?

The Fever Management Score Calculator is a tool designed to assess the severity of fever-related symptoms. It evaluates both the individual's history and physical exam findings to provide an estimate of illness severity, guiding further management decisions.

Why Use the Fever Management Score Calculator?

This calculator helps identify the likelihood of severe fever-related illnesses, such as bacterial infections or complications. By quantifying risk factors, it aids healthcare providers and individuals in determining the need for further medical intervention or observation.

How is the Fever Management Score Calculated?

The score is calculated by assigning **1 point for each "yes" response** to the following questions:

• Fever in past 24 hours: Have you experienced a fever within the last day?
• Absence of cough or coryza: Do you lack common cold-like symptoms?
• Symptom onset ≥ 3 days: Have symptoms persisted for three or more days?
• Purulent tonsils: Is there a presence of pus on the tonsils?
• Severe tonsil inflammation: Is there significant redness or swelling of the tonsils?

The total score is interpreted as:

• Low Severity: 0–1 points
• Moderate Severity: 2–3 points
• High Severity: 4–5 points
