Swedish term or phrase: arbeta mot feberfobi
Läkare, sjuksköterskor och föräldrar bör därför inte fördubbla doserna av paracetamol (annat än i selekterade fall med svår smärta) utan istället arbeta mot feberfobi och annan överanvändning av febernedsättande och smärtlindrande läkemedel.

could you please help me with a good English translation of "arbeta mot feberfobi", thanks.

provide information to the avoid fever phobia


Explanation:
feber fobi is found as fever phbia and refers to the unfounded fears that make someone try to "cure" fever, when fever is not a disease but a natural body healing reaction.

I hope it helps!
