Introduction: the "fever phobia" of parents, concerns, and inappropriate treatment of fever in childhood has been documented for nearly two decades. The parents' understanding of fever determines their concerns, fears, reactions, and conducts in the care of the febrile child. Objective: to verify, on the basis of a literature search, the knowledge, beliefs, information sources, practices, and attitudes of parents and caregivers in the management of fever in children. Methodology: this was a systematic review of the literature. Results/ Discussion: the "fever phobia" presents multifactorial causes, among them, the past experience with a febrile child, tragic stories resulting from the febrile child, cultural influences, and sources of information such as family, health professionals, and friends among others, also influence conducts towards fever. Parents become extremely worried when they have a sick child and fever can be considered an indicator of disease and harm. They consider that the fever may cause damage to the child, despite the numerous reports of the beneficial effects of low to moderate fever in the medical and scientific literature. The management of infant fever by parents will be directed by their beliefs, sources of information, and knowledge about the subject. Conclusions: exacerbated fear generates anxiety and concerns in parents and/or caregivers, is associated with their conceptions, and directs their conducts and fever management practices. The fever phobia persists and parents/ caregivers demonstrate feelings of insecurity to take care of a febrile child.
