Pharmacotherapy a pathophysiologic Approach

---

Pharmacists and other primary care providers are often the first point of contact for patients who present with nonspecific symptoms that can be transient and self-limiting or that indicate the presence of serious disease. Collecting the information needed to assess these symptoms and make a recommendation to
patients is a common and important activity of health professionals as they provide direct patient care. Elevated body temperature is one of these cardinal manifestations of
disease. Fever and elevated temperatures can be associated with many etiologies related to recent travel, illnesses, activity, and environmental factors. Pharmacists have an opportunity and responsibility to decipher information to help patients find appropriate treatment to decrease temperatures and alleviate associated symptoms or to seek more extensive medical evaluations.
A systematic process for assessing elevated temperatures includes asking the patient or caregiver for specific facts about the condition, examining the patient and measuring the body temperature, assessing the collected information, developing and implementing a treatment plan (including referring the patient
when red flags to self-treatment are present), and scheduling appropriate follow up. This chapter reviews the causes of fever in a clinic or pharmacy setting and appropriate evidence-based treatment to alleviate symptoms
