Description

Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVGIVCOLDWAT indicates whether the child was given a cold water compress.

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 remedy, and the second digit indicates the child's illness:


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