Description

Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 to 4 weeks, FEVGIVACET (ML13L) indicates whether the child was given acetaminophen. Other common names for acetaminophen include paracetamol and Panadol (trade name).

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

Child given ibuprofen or acetaminophen is listed as FEVGIVIBACET
Child given aspirin or paracetamol for fever/cough is listed as FEVGIVASPARA


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
