Abstract

When a child shows symptoms of pain or fever, the underlying cause must be determined. Some causes of pain are obvious, such as an injury or accident, others may require further investigation.

Older children may be able to describe the type of pain, but younger children and infants are unable to verbalise their symptoms.1,2
