Rational drug therapy of common illnesses in children.

Experience with the care of over 7,000 children with acute illnesses has shown that most need either no medication at all or can be adequately managed from a choice of but a handful of drugs precisely prescribed. A knowledge of rational therapeutics can decrease polypharmacy, the high cost of illness, and the risk of iatrogenic disease.

Fever in childhood.

A clinical approach to the diagnosis of fever in childhood is presented. Fever can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, drug reaction, collagen disease, neoplasm, central nervous disorder, blood diseases, or physiological changes. Short-term fever is usually a viral infection but may be a bacterial infection. Careful history and physical examination play the major role in making the diagnosis, followed by appropriate studies: throat culture , urinalysis, blood counts, x-rays, blood cultures, and specific tests. The latter are indicated for the diagnosis of prolonged fevers, which also are usually caused by common disorders. A high sedimentation rate is more likely to be associated with a serious disorder and warrants immediate investigation. Treatment is symptomatic; one should reserve specific treatment and/or antibiotics for specific illness.

Acute abdominal pain in children.

Acute abdominal pain in children is a common and challenging problem for the family physician. The many causes of this problem require a systematic approach to making the diagnosis and planning specific therapy. A careful history and physical examination, together with a small number of selected laboratory studies, provide a rational basis for effective management in most cases. This paper reviews the more common causes of acute abdominal pain in children with special emphasis on their clinical differentiation.
