How to be considered as having a persistent low fever

Patient's question:

On Friday, I had a high fever of 38.5 degrees and took fever-reducing medicine. The fever went down, but in the morning, it was gone. However, in the afternoon, I had a fever of 4 degrees again. What could be the reason? I still have a slight cough.

Doctor's answer:

A high fever is generally caused by inflammation, which is a result of the body's weakened resistance allowing pathogens to reappear. Common pathogens include bacteria, viruses, and mycoplasma. Simply using fever-reducing medication can only provide temporary relief and alleviate symptoms, but it often leads to recurring illness and hinders complete recovery.
Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing treatments should be administered. At the same time, maintain a balanced and nutritious diet, ensure proper meal planning, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and keep a positive mindset. Avoid smoking, alcohol, overwork, and exposure to cold. Gradually reduce these factors to restore your health to normal.
