The department to consult for paediatric fever depends mainly on its own symptoms. When the child has developed critical symptoms such as high fever, coma, chills, violent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, convulsions and confusion, he should be sent to the emergency department immediately. In other cases, paediatrics is preferred in general hospitals and paediatric internal medicine in specialised children’s hospitals. The paediatric respiratory medicine, paediatric endocrinology and paediatric oncology departments can also be chosen in conjunction with accompanying symptoms.
