Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. I was wondering, if the fever-reducing suppository for babies can't be inserted into the rectum, how should it be handled?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it is considered that the fever symptoms are caused by a virus. It is recommended that you undergo a complete blood count test to aid in diagnosis. If the antiviral effect is poor, you can appropriately use anti-inflammatory medication, which may be more effective. The characteristics of viral infection are that they tend to cause repeated high fever. Viruses generally stop replicating within a week. There is no need to be too anxious. Drink plenty of water and get adequate rest. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use a cold compress on your forehead for physical cooling. If the temperature is higher, you can use fever-reducing medication. Fever is a process, and if there are any abnormalities in your mental state or other symptoms, you should seek medical treatment promptly.
