Description

Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 to 4 weeks, FEVGIVASPARA indicates whether the child was given aspirin/paracetamol.

The following related variables contain medicines that overlap with this variable:


Child given aspirin for fever/cough is listed as FEVGIVASP (ML13K)
Child given acetaminophen for fever/cough is listed as FEVGIVACET (ML13L)
Child given ibuprofen or acetaminophen is listed as FEVGIVIBACET


A few samples ask separately about drugs taken for fever and drugs taken for cough. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in composite coding. A first digit of 1 indicates the child received the drug, and the second digit indicates the child's illness:


11: The child was given the drug for a fever
12: The child was given the drug for a cough
13: The child was given the drug for a fever or a cough
14: The child was given the drug for both a fever and a cough
15: The child was given the drug for a fever or convulsions
16: The child was given the drug for a fever or difficult/rapid breathing
