Abstract
Physicians of all specialties encounter patients in pain. The basis of the philosophy of caring children is not to question the existence of pain but to predict, prevent, and adequately treat it. Acute pain services implement preventive and multimodal analgesic treatment to increase the analgesic effect at the lowest possible doses to minimize undesirable effects of individual drugs. However, this service cannot be provided in all hospitals 24 hours a day. This study provides a clear, color-coded recommendation for pain relief in children, which provides a quick, rational, and safe choice of analgesics or their safe and effective combinations and dosage for each age group.
