Forty mothers of children suffering from pyrexia were the samples selected by non-probability purposive sampling technique. The pre-test was conducted on the 1<sup>st</sup> day by administering structured knowledge questionnaire and health education was delivered on management of children suffering from pyrexia. Post-test was conducted on the 7<sup>th</sup> day. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Results show that 11.2 was the mean pre-test value and 20.8 was the mean post-test value. The paired t-test value was 11.097, (p&lt;0.0001) showing a significant gain in the mothers knowledge on management of children suffering from pyrexia. Chi-square test result shows that there was a significant association of knowledge scores of mothers with monthly family income ( χ<sup>2</sup> = 11.039, p&lt;0.05), source of health information ( χ<sup>2</sup> = 17.861, p&lt;0.05).
