Quack therapy is the main hindrance in proper management of fever.

It starts at home, with patients resorting to various type of medication based upon their past experiences.

This problem is  more on the rise, due to readily available medicines over the counter, and is further compounded by the fact that, chemists themselves guide the patients for treatment .

80-90 % of medical services are delivered by quacks practicing without degree, especially in villages. Due to lack of knowledge and poverty, these patients have to consult these quacks  and often face complications.

Even educated people at times visit quacks due to misconceptions, lack of knowledge, to save time or money.

The so called 'desi' and spurious medicines offered by these quacks need special mention, which may not  only fail to give desired results, but also can lead to serious side effects.
